During Caesar's lifetime Rome was still a republic.
The Greek empire was before the Roman Empire.
Probably because it was possible for everybody to vote. The USA's government was based off of the Roman republic.
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.
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.
Empire.
Under the Republic, the Roman Empire annexed Sicily and Sardinia, along with many other provinces.
During Caesar's lifetime Rome was still a republic.
He was an absolute ruler and therefore had better control over the state and the provinces of the empire.
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.
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.
