Rome It's Roman not Rome!
Rome did not turn from a republic to an empire. The Roman republic already had an empire. In fact, much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic. Rome's political system changed from republic to rule by emperors, not from republic to empire. This confusion is caused by historians who use the term empire in two senses. One is the commonly used territorial sense (the conquest of other peoples and their annexation into an empire). The other refers to Rome's period of rule by emperors. The change from republic to rule by emperors was a political one, not an economic one.
Augustus ruled in Rome from 30 BC to 14 AD. Although he traveled at different times to other parts of the empire, his rule was centered in Rome.
Constantine defeated Emperors Maxentius and Licinius and reunited the Empire under his sole rule reversing Diocletian's splitting it into four.
As Augustus was Roman emperor, he ruled the Roman empire from the city of Rome.
the roman empire lasted 500 years
It was near the sea and in the middle of the Roman Empire.
Never. Rome was an empire during the republic. As soon as Rome began acquiring territory and ruling it under Roman law, it became an empire. The period that people call the "Roman Empire" was actually the principate, ruled by one man, eventually called by the title Caesar. The one man rule, or the rule of the Caesars came about in 31 BC, after the republic had collapsed.
