The exact date of the end of the Roman Republic is debated, one commonly accepted date is 44BC - when Julius Caesar was assassinated (after being proclaimed perpetual dictator). Another is 27BC, when the Senate granted extraordinary powers to Octavian (Augustus) - the beginnings of the Roman Empire.

The role of perpetual dictator had never existed in the Republic before this time, and it sparked the beginning of an autocratic system.
