Augustus: An Important Roman Emperor

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.

But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”

When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
