Athenian democracy, Roman Republic, Roman Empire
Caesar exposed the weakness of the Roman Republic through his extremely developed military and organisational skills. He proved that the Roman republican senate was not capable of handling the empire's affairs through his demonstration of what Rome required to be a successful republican empire. According to Örjan Wikander[1], Caesar's short reign ended the republic.---- [1] Örjan Wikander is a modern historian who published a brief landmark study in 1984, covering areas of Caesars reign.
The Senate!
Augustus emerged as the final victor of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic. He used his power to establish himself as an absolute ruler and become the first Roman emperor, starting Rome's 506-year period of rule by emperors. Historians make a confusing use of the term empire. It has two meanings. One is the usual one of conquered territories. The other refers to the period when Rome was ruled by emperors. In Territorial terms, the Roman Republic already had an empire. In fact, much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the period of the Republic.
This is a confusing question. First please remember that Rome was already an empire under the republic. What is erroneously called the "Roman empire" is the Principate. The government of the republic was by popular election while the government of the principate was by appointment. Both forms of government used the senate as a consulting body.
The impact of the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire upon the architecture of the time is hard. When it was made the republic was never restored. The installation of the Princeps came with it more structures of grand design. The Pantheon, the arch of Titus, and the Colosseum might serve as examples of this.
Athenian democracy, Roman Republic, Roman Empire
the Empire was virtually a Dictatorship and the republic was a democracy
Julius Caesar is the military leader and the dictator who transformed the roman republic into an roman empire. He assumed total power after transforming the republic into the empire.
The Roman Republic was ended by the takeover of the senate by Ceaser. He essentially became the supreme ruler, or emporer. So essentially, the Roman Republic was replaced by the Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire had nothing to do with the Romans. It was a medieval institution centred around Germany. The Roman republic became an empire by expansion both before and after the Punic wars.
Yes!
During Caesar's lifetime Rome was still a republic.
Roman Republic 4xx to 28 BCE. Roman Empire 28 BCE to 476 CE, however the Byzantine Empire in the east continued until 1453 CE.
The Roman Republic preceded it.
The Byzantine Empire lasted for a millennium.
There really is no major difference. The Roman Empire was the empire itself, lasting from 27 BCE-476 AD (1453 for the Eastern half, which came to be the Byzantine Empire). In the beginning the Roman empire was an autocracy, headed by emperors. It then later turned into a republic, which is when people use the term Roman Republic or Republic of Rome. This is actually where the modern day type of republic comes from, Rome.
