The ideal citizen of the Roman Republic was a man who put the state's interests before his own. The Roman concept of "gravitas" meant taking his public duties seriously. From this gravitas, he received "dignitas" which was his esteem, honor and reputation.

Did the Roman republic come before the Roman empire?

The Roman Republic lasted from the time of the kings until the civil wars in the first century BCE. The first Roman ruler that we call an emperor was Gaius Octavius -- or Augustus -- who ruled from 27 BCE to 14 CE. He didn't call himself an emperor, but "princips" or "first citizen."
