The Roman Empire started during the Roman Republic, that is under a republican government. The Republic was then replaced by the absolute rule by emperors.
The Roman republic was a form of government and the Roman emperor was a man. If you mean the difference between the Roman republic and the Roman empire, there was no difference except in the form of government. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government. When a single person took over leadership of that government, it became the principate or what is erroneously called the "empire". In both types of government, vast amounts of territory were ruled by a single authority, the senate under the republic and the "emperor" under the principate. Both the republic and the principate met the criteria for an empire.The Roman republic was a form of government and the Roman emperor was a man.

The Senate looked after the interests of the Roman state during the Republic.
The Senate had the most power of government even under Julius Caesar. The Consuls were like US presidents - the chief executives of the government.
In the Roman Republic the consuls were the two top officials. They had the ultimate responsibility for the running of the government for their one year term of office although they had lesser officials with specific duties under them.
The Roman empire never replaced the republic. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government. As soon as Rome began gaining territories and governing them under Roman law it became an empire. What is erroneously referred to as the "Roman Empire" is actually the Principate. This form of government came into being in 31 BC after Octavian won supreme power.The Roman empire never replaced the republic. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government.

The difference is really between the Roman republic and the absolute rule by emperors which followed the republic. Rome already had an empire under the republic. Much of her imperial expansion occurred during the period of of the Republic. The republic had five types of elected officers of state. Augustus (the first Roman emperor) turned them into his appointees. The powers of the popular assemblies which elected the officers was transferred to the senate and their role became merely ceremonial. The senate was emasculated and turned into an instrument for the emperor's power. The plebeian institutions, the plebeian tribunes and the Plebeian Council were done away with. Augustus created a bureaucracy under the control of the emperor. The army was also bought under the control of the emperor who was an absolute ruler.
Under the republic the Roman government consisted of five elected officials, the aedile, quaestor, praetor, consul and tribune of the plebs. Although each official had his specific duties, many times the duties overlapped. If, by empire, you mean the principate, (Rome was already an empire under the republic) the main power was vested in the person of the emperor, although the offices of the republican officials were kept.

The Roman empire was an empire before Augustus. It was an empire under the republican form of government. In other words Rome was governed as a republic before Augustus. During and after Augustus the empire was governed by the principate form of government.
