1. Roman Empire:
- Augustus: Augustus was the first Emperor of the Roman Empire and is considered one of the greatest Roman emperors.
- Dependent on trade: The Roman Empire had a strong economy that relied heavily on trade, both within its vast territories and with other regions.
2. Byzantine Empire:
- Justinian: Justinian I was a Byzantine emperor who reigned from 527 to 565 AD. He is known for his efforts to restore the Roman Empire by reconquering lost territories and implementing legal reforms.
- Dependent on trade: Like the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire was also reliant on trade, especially due to its strategic location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia.
Therefore, the matched combinations would be:
- Augustus - Roman Empire

- Dependent on trade - Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire
In this scenario, the dependent on trade element applies to both the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire since both empires had significant economic ties and relied on trade for their prosperity.
