Julius Cesar was one of the best generals in history but an ill fated and suborn politician.Augustus was just the opposite he did not possess much general skills having his close friends and able generals win battles fir him but he was one the most able and skilled politician and reformatted in history.they were alike in the determination of successive augustus was more suspenseful of the pair.julius Cesar was impatient and he wanted things done rapidly i prefer Cesar even if he was vary violent because he had more prescion on the things he was duing.cesar and agustus have 2 rapresentative month in the calandar.the month of august comes from the name Augustus.

You decided.... Cesar as an ambiscius dictator
I think that Caesar was more of a dictator than a reformer. Once he got more power, he treated people in a different way than before -whit more brutality. He also kept hidden the things that did not make him look smart or intelligent. He disobeyed the orders and laws of the Senate. He weakened the Senate to get power over Rome and he started a civil war that led to the destruction of the republic and made Rome an empire. Cicero tried to convince Caesar to return the republic into the original form. He was taking advantage of his power and he was becoming greddy and then he said " I am going to rule for the rest of my life". All the rulers ruled for a short piriod of time, but he got greedy so he actully did rule until they murdered him. He took advanege of the pepole and mostly women. In my opinion, he was mean and arrogant.
