Auguste (title)
See also: Auguste (homonymy)
Auguste is the title carried by the Roman Emperors, by reference to the dignity granted to the first among them, Auguste, in particular starting from Dioclétien.
Titrate of nobility equivalent to that of emperor, appeared in 27 when the Roman senate allotted it to Octave, which was then known under the name of Auguste. Thereafter, this title was used by almost all the Roman Emperors who followed, particularly at the time of the Tétrarchie where there were four emperors: two majestic and two césars.
See also: César.
The title of Auguste, as well as the other Latin titles, were abandoned at the beginning of the 7th century by the emperor Héraclius, with the profit of the title of Basileus (king, in Greek).
