Best Answer

Starting at the top, the consuls were the highest ranking magistrates or officials. It was a position of high honor, the year of their consulship was named after them and their names were remembered in the public record along with their outstanding deeds, if any. Next came the praetors, who can loosely be called judges, although their responsibilities covered other areas as well. Then there were the quaestors who handled the money. There was also the office of aedile, which, although not necessary to move up the political ladder, was highly important as an aedile was responsible for the city's infrastructure and public games. Somewhere in this mix was the Tribune of the plebs who initially was to look after the welfare of the plebeians, but soon became nothing more than an extra office for a consul or proconsul.

What year did the Roman Republic break down?

We cannot point to any specific year and say that it was the date that the republic broke down. The Roman republic eroded away over time. Some say it began to decline at the time of the Gracchi brothers, others say the war between Marius and Sulla. We do know that by the time of Julius Caesar the ideals of the republic were nothing but a sham with politicians setting up their own supporters in key offices, Caesar included. It was over in all but name, when Octavian won supreme power and established the principate. This could loosely be dated as 31 BC.
