Rome already had an empire under the Republic. Most of the Mediterranean + Gaul had already been conquered during the Republic. Roman Empire is a term that is used by historians for the personal rule by one man which followed the Republic. Historians call this man emperor, but the Romans did not use this term.
The Republic ended in 27 BC when Augustus concentrated power in his hands.

∙ 11y agoThe empire did not actually replace the Republic. Most of the Roman Empire had already been conquered during the Republic. Historians use the term empire with reference to the period which followed the Republic because Rome came to be ruled by one man, whom they call emperor. However, the Romans did not use the name emperor. The sole ruler was the princeps (the first man). The empire itself already existed.
The Republic came to an end in 27 BC when Augustus took power in his hands after the civil wars which brought down the Republic.
