Answer 1

Answer:

• The long reign from 27 BC to 14 AD enabled Octavian Augustus to establish a complete autocracy. He ensure the payment from the state budget for the soldiers whose military service lasted for 20 years, and with this he secured the loyalty of the military state, and not with the individual officers

• Historians date the start of Octavian's monarchy to either 31 B.C. (the victory at Actium) or 27 B.C., when he was granted the name Augustus. In that four-year span, Octavian secured his rule on multiple fronts. Cleopatra's seized treasure allowed him to pay his soldiers, securing their loyalty.
