An empire as it is erronously called. Rome was an empire under the republic. After the fall of the republic Rome became a Principate, ruled by a principle person.
Rome was an empire under the Republican form of government. The republican form of government collapsed due to civil wars and political infighting. After the battle of Actium, Rome had the one man rule of an emperor, but the empire itself had already been firmly established.
I think you're thinking of ancient Rome. However, Rome was already an empire under the Republic, but most people don't realize it.
Rome did not go from a republic to an empire. They are two different things. The republic was/is a form of government while an empire is a political holding. Rome was an empire under the republican form of government. What is generally referred to as the "empire" is properly called the principate, in which the empire was ruled by one person rather than the collective senate.Rome did not go from a republic to an empire.

Cleopatra had nothing to do with changing Rome's history from republic to empire. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government. Because Cleopatra was the last queen of ancient Egypt and was defeated by Rome, her country became another Roman province -- an addition to Rome's empire. What she did do, was to help bring down the republic and enable Octavian to establish the principate.
Rome was already a republic. Rome developed an empire.
Actually nothing. Rome was already an empire under the republic. When the republic fell it was replaced by the principate, not the empire as is mistakenly assumed. The change from the republic to the principate was marked by the rise to power of Octavian/Augustus. He won the right to be sole ruler after the battle of Actium.Actually nothing.

The Roman empire never replaced the republic. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government. As soon as Rome began gaining territories and governing them under Roman law it became an empire. What is erroneously referred to as the "Roman Empire" is actually the Principate. This form of government came into being in 31 BC after Octavian won supreme power.The Roman empire never replaced the republic. Rome was already an empire under the republican form of government.

In 509 BC, a group of Roman aristrocrats were fed up with their Etruscan King, Tarquin. They drove him out of Rome, and leading Patrician families took power and ruled as members of the senate, Rome became a Kingless Republic.
Rome did not turn from a republic to an empire. The Roman republic already had an empire. In fact, much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic. Rome's political system changed from republic to rule by emperors, not from republic to empire. This confusion is caused by historians who use the term empire in two senses. One is the commonly used territorial sense (the conquest of other peoples and their annexation into an empire). The other refers to Rome's period of rule by emperors. The change from republic to rule by emperors was a political one, not an economic one.
