Augustus was the territorial hegemon from Spain to Syria. He turned this territory into the Roman Empire, and the power was firmly in his own hands. He established a * * * organization to manage it; He established an army and navy to defend the border. He did so well that the Roman Empire remained in this state for the next few centuries. The first two centuries were the famous Roman peace period, which was the longest peace period enjoyed by the western world. 1 year, less than 30 years after Augustus established the Roman Empire.
