as a son in his will.
His original name was Gaius Octavius. When he was adopted,
following Roman conventions his name changed to Gaius Julius Caesar
Octavianus, He then changed his name to Gaius Julius Caesar Divi
Filius (Divis Filius = Son of the Divine; Caesar had been deified).
Later he replaced Gaius with Imepator (victorius commander) and his
name became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius.When he became the first
Roman emperor the title of Augustus (the Venerable One) was
bestowed on him by the senate. He dded this title to his name,
which became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus (the Victorious
Commander, the Son of the Divine Caesar, the Venerable One)
