The Roman Republic never became a dictatorship. The republic fell and was replaced by 503 year of rule by emperors which was established by Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, in 27 BC. The emperors were absolute rulers.

Julius Caesar had himself appointed dictator for life in 44 BC. However, the term dictator was very different in Roman times. The dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by senatorial decree to deal with emergencies. Therefore, Caesar's appointment did not amount to dictatorship was we understand it

nowadays.

What was different about Caesar's appointment was that it was as Dictator for Life, a position that no other Roman dictator had ever been offered, it implies a change in the timbre of the office. It was unusual and threatening enough to one group of Senators that it led to Caesar's assassination.

Roman helmets or galesas varied from time period to time period. The traditional helmet was made of hardened leather, either with out without metal coverage. Depending on the prestige of the particular legion and the person's rank, full metal helms were not uncommon.

I don't know the exact measure but somewhere around the 100s

Yes, at times they did. The value of the money was in the metal of the coin. If the drachma had the same amount of metal as the Roman coin, it was used. There are even records of the Roman army being paid in drachmas rather than denarii.

Children of humble background went to school until the age of 10-11. There was not a formal education system and teachers set up their own classes where they could, including in the back of shops separated for the rest of the shop by just a curtain and in the street. Elementary classes were run by a teacher called litterator. Children learnt to read and write and basic maths.

Children of people who could afford it went to better classes and continued on to the classes run by the grammaticus from the age of 9 to 12 until the age of 14-15. They improved their writing, learnt oration, expressive poetic reading and poetic analysis. Pupils were expected to have some knowledge of spoken and written Greek and classes were bilingual.

A small number of children went on to study with the rhetor. They studied rhetoric. If you wanted to study further, you went to Greece to study philosophy.

The children of rich people had private tuition at home.

The power and wealth which imperial expansion created led to corruption. This expansion had not been planned and the government was ill equipped to dealt with the changes it brought about. The governors of the provinces (conquered territories) acted as if their provinces were personal fiefs. Tax collection in the provinces was tendered to private individuals who "farmed" the taxes through extortion to line their pockets.

Wealth was only one of the problems. Another problem were reforms of the army which led military commanders being able to raise armies which were loyal to them. Some of these men could use military violence or the threat of it to obtain what they wanted. Others used their armies to fight civil wars.

Another problem was poverty, which reached such levels that it became a political hot potato. One of the reasons for the civil wars was the conflict between populares and optimates. The former was a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to help them. The latter was a faction which favoured the aristocracy and was opposed to the reforms.

Because their whole world revolved around their god[esses] and superstitions evolved over time when something occurred and then another event after that. The second was related to the first. They thought that the omens were sent by their deities and if they did something after that, that the omen warned against, they thought that they would be punished or something bad would happen.

Rome was not built on hills. Rather, it developed from settlements on the hills in its area which had been there prior to its foundations. The earliest evidence of human settlements goes back to some 500 years before the foundation of the city. It is thought that Rome was formed through the unification of separate settlements on the hills which were to became the Seven Hills of Rome (the Palatine the Esquiline, the Caelian, the Quirinal, the Viminal the Capitoline and the Aventine) into a single state under the rule of a king. People liked to live on hills because they were easier to defend from raids.

There is no rerecord of the Romans treating the Essenes differently form the other Jews.

Free it was no money to get in the coliseum

Yes, the Flavian Amphitheatre, for one. There's also the Pantheon and numerous churches that were once temples. Then here's the remains of the Forum Romanum with its columns of ancient temples and paved ancient streets.

Rome had a monarchy for 144 years, followed by a republic for 482 years, and by personal rule by one man for 503 years. Historians have called the personal ruler emperor, but the Romans did not use this term. They have also divided the period of personal rule into the Principate (personal rule presented as benign) which lasted for 311 years, and a Dominate (a more autocratic personal rule) which lasted for 192 years.

Rome had two leaders only during the 482-year of the republic. During the 244-year period of the monarchy and the 506-year period of rule by emperors there was only one leader. The Roman Republic had two annually elected consuls because its purpose was to prevent the return of tyranny. It was established when the last king of Rome was deposed because he was a tyrant and the monarchy was abolished. Having two men in charge meant that they could counterbalance each other. The short term of office meant that no one could concentrate power in their hands.

The fashionable theory that Rome was ruled by the Etruscans in the 6th century BC is just that, a theory. It has been challenged. Its evidence base is flimsy and it is based on unproven assumptions. Recent archaeological evidence suggests a different picture.

The Roman tradition said that the Romans overthrew the Roman monarchy because the last king was a tyrant and they established the Roman Republic. This was in 509 BC.

Ancient Rome created a system of government that can be called a republic. This concept was lost to the world until on the beginning of the US republic of 1789. The Roman republic was based on a written set of laws. The most basic way to explain their republic is to say that Rome had two houses of power. One was the body of two consuls elected annually by the citizens of Rome. The Senate was comprised of the aristocracy and appointed by magistrates.Rome also had a judicial system.

The Roman language was Latin. Of course the everyday language of Rome was based on the language of the Romans. Latin heavily influenced the Languages if Italy, Gaul (France), Hispania (Spain) Lusitania (Portugal) and Dacia (Romania). So much so that the modern languages of these countries are derived from Latin. Latin probably influenced the languages of other areas of the Roman Empire, but these were replaced by languages of the the conquests and large scale immigrations of Germanic peoples, Slavs and Arabs into areas of the Roman Empire. Latin was also the language of administration throughout the empire.

Latin influenced the everyday life of Greece only in so far as it was the language of administration. It did not influence the Greek language. The Romans elites received an education in both Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek.
