Roman Emperor and General Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (later known as Augustus Caesar) was the great-nephew and adopted son and heir of Julius Caesar. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar formed the Second Triumvirate along with Mark Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Togther they hunted down the assassinators of Julius Caesar and also oversaw the outlawing of 300 Roman senators.
After the Triumvirate's term expired in 33 BCE, Augustus Caesar and Mark Antony began to turn on each other. Although Antony was married to Augustus' sister, he lived openly in Alexandria with Cleopatra. Augustus Caesar worked to turn Roman public opinion against Antony, and after he obtained a copy of Antony's will that promised substantial lands to his children with Cleopatra, was able to convince the Roman Senate to revoke Antony's powers and declare war.
After the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra and the end of the civil war, Augustus Caeser worked to covertly consolidate power. On January 16, 27 BCE the Senate gave him the new titles of Augustus and Princeps, effectively marking the end of the Roman Republic and the begining of the Roman Empire.

INGREDIENTS
▢1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut up into 1 inch to 1-1/2 inch pieces
▢1/2 tablespoon olive oil
▢salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
▢1/4 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
▢1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
▢1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
▢1/4 teaspoon onion powder
▢1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
▢1/4 teaspoon dried basil
▢10 to 12 bacon slices, cut in half, crosswise
▢5 to 6 grilling skewers (I use metal skewers for the oven, but if you use wooden skewers, please soak them in water for 15 minutes prior to adding the chicken to the skewers.)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Set a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray with cooking oil; set aside.
Cut up your chicken into 1 to 1-1/2 inch pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and stir.
Season with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil; mix around until well combined.
Wrap each piece of bacon around each chicken piece, and thread 5 to 6 pieces onto each skewer. You want to pack them close together on the skewer so that the bacon slices stay intact.
Arrange skewers on top of previously prepared baking rack.
Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crispy.
Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
Serve.
GRILL METHOD:
Prepare the chicken skewers.
Heat up grill to medium-high heat.
Oil the grates really well to prevent bacon from sticking.
Arrange chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 4 minutes.
Turn over, and, optionally, brush with your favorite barbecue sauce to keep it moist; continue to cook for 4 minutes.
Turn over again, brush with barbecue sauce, and continue to cook for 4 more minutes, or until done. Chicken is done cooking when internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
