OCTAVIAN
I am the nephew of Julius Caesar. He took me under his wing and later he took me in as a son. Julius Caesar guided me and showed me how to be a good leader. Even though he seemed to absorbed into gaining power and took total control over Rome. He centralized the bureaucracy of the Republic, and later on, was proclaimed dictator.
Even though he became too consumed with power, he was still thinking about Rome and how to better the country. I will always be grateful for all the things he had done for me, as I would not have been a successful emperor of Rome without him. But he was not perfect, and that is why people revolted. I have learned from his mistakes and now I will be a better ruler because of that. His death and the betrayal of the senate showed me that with this power comes great responsibility, and I will make sure that I will not make the mistakes he made.
There are many reasons why I think Caesar was a great ruler. He was an excellent military general, for he was able to win many of the battles he fought. Even though he had done horrible things to the people who fought against him, he was also forgiving for many others. Even though he doesn't want to kill everyone, if they go against him, he must show his power and let the others know he is not one to mess with. If the people would follow him without question, they will be safe. His way of dealing with the Republic was only used because he knew the Republic would fall eventually. Caesar wanted to save the nation from falling into chaos. To change from a Republic to a empire, there has to be an emperor.
