The Romans did not develop any particular ideas of theories about government. They had three forms of government over the 1,200 years of their history; a monarchy for 244 years, a republic for 482 years and rule by emperors for 503 years.

The republic was formed with the overthrow of the monarchy because the last king was a tyrant. Its aim was to prevent the return of tyranny. The king was replaced with two annually elected consuls. The purpose of having two leaders was that they could counterbalance each other and the short term of office prevented anyone from concentrating power in their hands. Apart from this, the other institutions of the monarchy were retained. No particular ideas or theories were formulated aprt from freedom. The most important idea of the Romans was the observance of ancestral customs (mos maiorum)

Augustus, the first Roman emperor, established his absolute personal rule, which was continued by his successors. Apart from personal Propaganda, Augustus did not established theories about his system of rule.
