The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC by his opponents led to further civil wars between his opponents and his supporters. They culminated with a final war which was a struggle over who would become the sole ruler of Rome. The term Roman Empire can be confusing. Historians use it to indicate the period of rule by emperors which followed the Republic. However, in its more common sense of empire as territorial conquests and possessions, the Roman Republic already had an empire. Much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic.
