>>438940779No, Cicero was a great politician. Augustus wasn't really much of anything. Everything he did politically served to satisfy and please the Senate after they pugio'd his uncle. Pax Romana was a natural consequence of his appeasement policies. He just wasn't a real sovereign like Hadrian who travelled the whole empire and made decisions without some senatorcel's approval or Caesar who literally conquered Gaul and marched on Rome on his own initiative. His military campaigns in Germania were a catastrophy. His biggest achievement was btfoing an empire long in decline (Ptolemeic Egypt) on the shoulders of Agrippa and founding the empire that would give rise to much more competent men than him.
