18 How did the Roman Republic turn into a dictatorship?

It was an extended process. In the first instance the Roman Republic had a specific legal role for a 'dictator', typically one elected for a six month period and was periodically installed in times of military emergency or domestic upheaval. The process of 'subversion' of the Republic finally resulted in an Imperial regime beginning with Octavian (Augustus) 30's BC to 14 AD - though for centuries some nominal form of a 'republic' was maintained. For many years previously populist and generals would instigate forceful regime changes which with each incident tended to undermine the stability of the Republic.

What was Augustus appeal to the roman senate and to the roman people?

Augustus' appeal to the senate was his military power. He won the last of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic, gained control of all the legions of the Roman army and became the sole ruler. The senate could not do anything against his military power and had to allow him to establish his absolute personal rule, to turn the senate into an instrument of his power and to pretend that the senate still mattered in the new political system he created. Augustus' appeal to the Roman people was his propaganda use of the fact that he was the adoptive son of Julius Caesar. They saw him as the man who would uphold Caesar's legacy.

Why did rome turn from a republic to a empire?

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.


When did Rome turn from a Republic to an Empire?

Never. Rome was an empire during the republic. As soon as Rome began acquiring territory and ruling it under Roman law, it became an empire. The period that people call the "Roman Empire" was actually the principate, ruled by one man, eventually called by the title Caesar. The one man rule, or the rule of the Caesars came about in 31 BC, after the republic had collapsed.
