Octavian ruled for 40 years as the emperor.
Given
- Octavian became the emperor of Rome in 27 B.C.
- He ruled until his death in A.D. 14.
To Find
How long he ruled as an emperor?
Solution
In the gregorian calendar, the B.C system is followed backward, i.e 1 BC is the earliest while 2 B.C, 3 B.C, ... are the years after.
Therefore, Octavian covered
27 B.C - 1 B.C
= 26 years in the Before Christ period.
Now there is no 0 A.D in the calendar. We directly have 1 A.D after 1 B.C.
Since he ruled until 14 A.D, he rules for 14 years in the A.D period.
Therefore, he ruled for,
26 + 14 years
= 40 years.
Therefore, Octavian ruled for 40 years as the emperor.
