<p> | <p> [[Augustus]] (''äu-gŭs'tus'' ), ''venerable.'' [[A]] title given to the Cæsars by the Roman Senate, first applied in b.c. 27 to [[C.]] [[J.]] [[C.]] Octavianus. This was four years after the battle of Actium. Augustus was the emperor who appointed the enrollment, Luke 2:1, causing [[Joseph]] and Mary to go to Bethlehem, the place where Jesus was born. He also closed the temple of Janus, in token of the rare occurrence, a universal peace; thus unconsciously celebrating the coming of the Prince of Peace. He died a.d. 14, having two years before admitted Tiberius [[Cæsar]] to a share in the government. In Acts 25:21; Acts 25:25, the title (translated the emperor in. [[R.]] [[V.)]] refers to Nero. </p> | ||
