Rome didn't, it was the Emperor who lived in Rome that did this.

Rome It's Roman not Rome!
Rome did not turn from a republic to an empire. The Roman republic already had an empire. In fact, much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic. Rome's political system changed from republic to rule by emperors, not from republic to empire. This confusion is caused by historians who use the term empire in two senses. One is the commonly used territorial sense (the conquest of other peoples and their annexation into an empire). The other refers to Rome's period of rule by emperors. The change from republic to rule by emperors was a political one, not an economic one.

The Roman Empire
Augustus ruled in Rome from 30 BC to 14 AD. Although he traveled at different times to other parts of the empire, his rule was centered in Rome.
Constantine defeated Emperors Maxentius and Licinius and reunited the Empire under his sole rule reversing Diocletian's splitting it into four.
As Augustus was Roman emperor, he ruled the Roman empire from the city of Rome.
It was near the sea and in the middle of the Roman Empire.
