The senate could not do much to avoid the 12 civil wars in the Late Roman Republic. It could not stop strong military commanders who had the loyalty of their troops from fighting each other. Moreover, in the first few of these wars, it sided with one of the fighting factions, that of the conservative commander. In one of them, the senate was actually one of the fighting forces. This was Caesar's civil war against the forces of the senate. The Liberators' Civil War was fought between supporters of the senate and supporters of the assassinated Julius Caesar.

When was Byzantine Empire created?

You may not find total agreement on this answer, but I would have it begin in the year 476 with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Byzantines did not call themselves Byzantines any more than the ancient Greeks called themselves Greeks. The Byzantine Empire is modern nomenclature to avoid confusion with the Eastern Roman Empire after the Roman Empire was divided, but before the Western Roman Empire fell.

Was Charlemagne emperor of Rome?

yes ----- The question of whether Charlemagne was Emperor of Rome was raised as soon as he was crowned emperor. Personally, I would say he was not, but others could disagree, and with some reason. The West Roman Empire was long gone, so clearly he was not emperor of that. The East Roman Empire still existed at the time he was crowned, under the name Empire of the Roman People. Today we call it the Byzantine Empire. Empress Irene, who was its monarch at the time Charlemagne was crowned, was quite upset that Charlemagne was crowned emperor of a country with the same name as her own, especially because it seemed to imply that he was the rightful ruler of her empire. Today, we use the term Carolingian Empire for Charlemagne's empire, and the term Byzantine Empire for Irene's, to avoid confusion. Neither term was used at the time. The Carolingian Empire dissolved, but was reestablished as what we call the Holy Roman Empire, a term used while it existed, though originally, it, too, was called the Roman Empire. The City of Rome, by the way, was not part of either the Carolingian Empire or the Byzantine Empire, but was part of the Papal States.


Where was Charlemagne crowned emperor?

Charlemagne was crowned emperor in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, on December 25, 800. This act created what historians call the Carolingian Empire, which was ancestral to both the the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France. Charlemagne is considered Charles I of both countries. At the time of the coronation, and for quite a while after, the empire called itself the Roman Empire. Unfortunately the Byzantine Empire also called itself the Roman Empire. Modern historians use the terms they do to avoid confusion. For more, please use the link below.
