2. Right idea. Wrong timing.

Better late than never.

However,

The first ruler of Rome after Julius Caesar was Octavian, who later became known by his title of Augustus. Octavian was Julius Caesar’s grand-nephew and was one of his political opponents. After Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44BCE, Octavian rose to power and became Consul of Rome in 43BCE. He then declared himself Emperor of Rome in 27BCE, becoming the first Roman Emperor in the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Got another emperor.
