Why was Philip II called Augustus?

Philip II was called Philip Augustus because he greatly increased the territory of France.

The word Augustus means "majestic" in Latin.

Philip II ruled France from 1180 to 1223. He made the Crown more powerful than any feudal lord, more than tripled the royal domain, and turned the balance of power between France and England in favor of France.

Philip II's biographer, Rigord, was the one who called him Augustus. Rigord compared Philip II to the Roman ceasars because he had enlarged his realm and increased its income.

The constant presence of diseases or infectious agents within a given geographic area or population group. it may also refer to the usual prevalence of a given disease with such area or group. it includes holoendemic and hyperendemic diseases. a holoendemic disease is one for which a high prevalent level of infection begins early in life and affects most of the child population, leading to a state of equilibrium such that the adult population shows evidence of the disease much less commonly than do children (malaria in many communities is a holoendemic disease). a hyperendemic disease is one that is constantly present at a high incidence and/or prevalence rate and affects all groups equally. so probably family history.
