They would have hated it. The Roman Senate would have been disgusted at the lack of power of the Senate in the Imperial years. They would have also hated that provincials were being made citizens, and that the size of the senate had been dramatically increased. They would have hated the decline of Rome's "Great Families" and the rise of the "Novus Homo" ("New Man", a person who made their wealth in the provinces, not a native Italian, not of noble Patrician background). They would have hated the amount of power the Emperor wielded, and especially in the later years of the Empire would have hated the instability and the lack of discipline in the army. They would also have hated the posthumous deification of emperors, and the rise of the Eastern style "God King"

∙ 8y agoGovernment of the Roman Empire is a term used to indicate rule by emperors. The emperors were absolute rulers. The Roman Republic was created with the overthrow of the last king of Rome, who was a tyrant. The object of the Republic was to prevent anyone form concentrating power in their hands. This was to prevent the return of tyranny. The founders of the Republic would have been appalled about the absolute rule of emperors and would have considered the emperors as tyrants.
