Rome went from Republic then Empire in 27 BC . The 500-year-old Roman Republic, which preceded it, had been weakened by several civil wars. Several events are commonly proposed to mark the transition from Republic to Empire, including Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator (44 BC), the victory of Octavian at the Battle of Actium (2 September 31 BC), and the Roman Senate's granting to Octavian the honorific Augustus (16 January 27 BC).
Rome was an empire under the Republican form of government. The republican form of government collapsed due to civil wars and political infighting. After the battle of Actium, Rome had the one man rule of an emperor, but the empire itself had already been firmly established.
The Byzantines were the inheritors of Rome. After Roman Empire split, Eastern Rome became known as the Byzantine empire, after the capital city of Byzantium. The Eastern Empire would outlast Western Rome by centuries.
The Mongol Empire was the largest empire of history covering over 33,000,000 km2!
A banana is a good non-example. Even a banana republic is not likely to be confused with an empire!
Since 1789, France has has at least 23 constitutions, and has gone back and forth between republic, other limited democracy, dictatorship, monarchy and Empire. The FIRST Republic came in after the execution of Louis XVI in 1792. It lasted a very short time and was successively replaced by a Directorate, a Consulate and Napoleon's Empire. After the Empire, the Kings returned. They were kicked out in 1830 and replaced by a different King. He was deposed in 1818 in favour of the SECOND Republic. This one lasted four years; its President was Napoleon's great-nephew, who restored the Empire in 1852. The THIRD Republic followed the defeat and capture of Napoleon III by the Prussians in 1870, and lasted until 1940, when Hitler installed his puppet government at Vichy. In 1945 this was replaced by the FOURTH Republic. Even since then, the constitution has been changed yet again, and we're currently on the Fifth Republic, and counting.

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.
An empire as it is erronously called. Rome was an empire under the republic. After the fall of the republic Rome became a Principate, ruled by a principle person.
False. Rome started out as a monarchy; that changed around the year 509 BCE, when the monarchy was overthrown and Rome became a Republic; and then, eventually, around 29 BCE, Rome became an empire.

Rome was already a republic. Rome developed an empire.
Rome changed government over the yers and soon ended up being a kingdom, a republic and then an empire. (sorry if this doesn't help!)

In 509 BC, a group of Roman aristrocrats were fed up with their Etruscan King, Tarquin. They drove him out of Rome, and leading Patrician families took power and ruled as members of the senate, Rome became a Kingless Republic.
No, first it was a city, then a Republic, then a Empire, and then it collasped.
No. Rome was a Republic during 236. Rome was a monarchy in its founding and then again when it became the Roman Empire.
republic was the form of government Rome had before it became an empire.
