Hadrian deferred for eleven years, for example.The empire of Alexander is torn into separate kingdoms as former generals and functionaries squabble over his mantle. It was traditional for the honored, in a proper sign of humility, to defer the honor for some time once conferred. Tiberius did so and Nero did so when first offered the honor during the first year of his reign, on account of his youth, though he later accepted when the honor was conferred on him for a second time. The honor was subject to the approval of the honored, who could decline it. As a result, many of the short-lived Emperors never received the title. The Senate eventually conferred the title on many Roman emperors, often only after many years of rule, or if the new emperor was particularly esteemed by the senators, as in the case of Nerva. According to the historian Suetonius, Augustus' successor, Tiberius, was offered this title, but refused it. The Senate voted the title to Augustus in 2 BC, but being neither important for the ruler's legitimacy nor for his legal powers, it did not become a regular part of the imperial honors, contrary to Imperator, Caesar, Augustus, princeps senatus, pontifex maximus and tribunicia potestas. It was next awarded to Julius Caesar, who as dictator became the de facto ruler of the Roman Republic and its imperium, for having ended the civil wars. Three centuries later, it was awarded to the orator and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero for his part in the suppression of the Catilinarian conspiracy during his consulate in 63 BC. It was first awarded to Roman general Marcus Furius Camillus in 386 BC, who for his role in the aftermath of the Gallic siege of Rome was considered a second founder of the city, in succession to Romulus. The honor of being called pater patriae was conferred by the Roman Senate. It is also used for President of the United States George Washington, the Swedish King Gustav I, Prince Willem of Orange and the four authors of Italian unification Camillo Cavour, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Giuseppe Mazzini and King Victor Emmanuel II. Pater Patriae (plural Patres Patriae), also seen as Parens Patriae, is a Latin honorific meaning " Father of the Country", or more literally, "Father of the Fatherland". The inscription on the Trajan's Column listed Trajan as Pater Patriae
