Augustus Caesar was the first Roman emperor and he reigned for 40 long years. He established peace and stability in his territories (Pax Romana), strengthened the boundaries, organised an efficient government and promoted economic prosperity. He provided the Roman citizens with the conditions necessary for trade, industry, art, architecture and literature. The Romans liberally borrowed ideas and skills from other nations, especially the Greeks, and patronised various professionals such as architects, craftsmen, writers and artists. As a result, the Romans slowly developed a classical civilisation which has had a lasting impact even in modern times.
