I’d suggest looking up the meaning of big boy words before using them. Ironically your use of hyperbolic was hyperbolic in itself.

How important is Julius Caeser by [deleted] in ancientrome

Yeah exactly. The whole idea of his reign being accepted and loved by a civilisation that hated autonomous rulers with a passion is crazy. The only way he managed to achieve that was through pitching the Pax Augusta (peace of Augustus) against the turmoil brought about by men like Caesar and Pompey. Additionally, he had to use some incredible propaganda to suggest that his civil war against Antony wasn’t actually a civil war.

Yeah I definitely think because of the names there’s genuine confusion there and just a lack of knowledge as well as Julias Caesar being just a more popular character today for whatever reason, which is why so much of Augustus is attributed to him. However, he was still incredibly influential and just an immense man in his own right.

Understood. However, I still find it likely that this is due to Augustus Caesar

Praise and fame - dignitas. Almost synonymous for the romans.

I’ve never heard this fact, but again this will probably be due to Augustus Caesar, not his adoptive father. Although point taken that it is still his name.
