Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, First Emperor of Imperial Rome.
His long reign was considered "PAX ROMANA" (Roman Peace), the longest period of peace within the Roman Empire, and the greatest expansion of the Roman Empire in terms of military conquest and political stability. He was so revered in life, that in death, the SPQR (Senate of the People of Rome) deified him and declared him a god.

Philip II, King of Spain and Emperor of the Spanish Empire.
Defender of the Faith, Shield Bearer of Roman Catholicism in the New World.

It is impiety, and almost blasphemy to presume to know the will of God. It comes from the sin of pride, Even kings, Brother Nicholas, must submit to being used by God's will without knowing what it is. They must never seek to use it.
â€”King Philip II
