The Roman Republic ended when Caesar Augustus came to power
Julius Caesar
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.
