Julius Caesar or Augustus?

Who do you think was a more important leader, Caesar or Augustus? Explain your
answer using details and relevant facts to support your opinion.


Both Julius Caesar and Augustus were important leaders. However, there had to be one leader who was more important, which was Augustus, in my opinion. Firstly, I thought about how they died- did one of them die because they were too old, or was one of them murdered? Julius Caesar died because he was murdered by the Senate. Augustus lived for a long time. This already tells us who might have been better. Julius Caesar was a military man, he preferred to ignore the Senate, but rule them. He was powerful, but not so political, in contrast to Augustus Octavian. Augustus was astonishing. He refused to gain power, because he gave the Senators the power they needed. Augustus controlled the Senate, but he didn’t show it, he had rather help them. He also kept the military business busy from Italy, other rulers who didn’t do this were overthrown. They both knew that the Roman Empire no longer existed. Augustus tried to retain it, to bring it back and to build another one, while Julius Caesar didn’t care and moved on to ruling the Senate.
As a result, Caesar was selfish and only wanted his life to be great, he wanted to be the ruler of the Senate and other military businesses, in contrast to Augustus, who was caring and tried his best to help the Senate and other political businesses.
