The reign of Augustus as Rome's first emperor began in 27 BC with his first settlement with the Roman Senate, which granted him extraordinary proconsular powers, control over half of Rome's provinces and most of its armies, and the title of augustus ('the revered'). Prior to this event he is labeled by historians as Octavian (Latin: Octavianus), having been born Gaius Octavius, before adopting the name of his great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar, who named him as his primary heir in his will.
A reign is the period of a person's or dynasty's occupation of the office of monarch of a nation (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Andorra), of a people (e.g., the Franks, the Zulus) or of a spiritual community (e.g., Catholicism, Tibetan Buddhism, Nizari Ismailism). In most hereditary monarchies and some elective monarchies (e.g., Holy Roman Empire) there have been no limits on the duration of a sovereign's reign or incumbency, nor is there a term of office.
