divi filius
''Divi filius'' is a Latin phrase meaning "divine son", or "son of the divine", and was a title much used by the adopted son of Julius Caesar, his great-nephew Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus.
==Octavian==
On 1 January 42 BC, nearly two years after the assassination of Julius Caesar on 15 March 44 BC, but before the final victory of the Second Triumvirate over the conspirators who had taken his life, the Roman Senate recognised him as a divinity. He was therefore referred to as ''Divus Iulius'' (the divine Julius), and his adopted son styled himself ''Divi filius''〔('Augustus' Gaius Julius Octavius )〕 (son of the deified one, son of the god). The fuller form, "divi Iuli filius" (son of the divine Julius) was also used.〔(Inscription on Porta Tiburtina in Rome )〕
Octavian used the title ''divi filius'' to advance his political position, finally overcoming all rivals for power within the Roman state.〔"Ostentatiously rejecting divinity on his own account, he rose to power via Caesar's divine image instead" ((Augustus, by Pat Southern, p. 63 )).〕 The title was for him "a useful propaganda tool", and was displayed on the coins that he issued.〔(Coins of the Emperor Augustus ); examples are a coin of 38 B.C. inscribed "Divi Iuli filius", and another of 31 B.C. bearing the inscription "Divi filius" ((''Auguste vu par lui-même et par les autres'' by Juliette Reid )).〕
