One of Octavian's allies turn on him and they become rivals, mark Anthony. Mark teams up with Cleopatra and Octavian defeats them.  People then saw Octavian as "unchallenged" and he was given the name "Augustus" also know as  exalted one. At that point Rome was an empire, not a republic. He ran as an emperor  for 40 years, and he began  Pax Romana. After all of his great accomplishments, Octavian eventually died of natural causes.

They didmd have a great life but 2 things kept them satisfied, circuses for entertainment and and bread. Julius Caesar was a great ruler in Rome. He was an amazing general as well. Julius made people happy and satisfied. He formed the first Triumvirate with 2 other high class men. Julius had a great success when he conquered Gaul. He conquered them because his soldiers respected him and were loyal and determined. For a year, Julius served as consul and eventually is governor of Gaul.  Pompey because very jealous and threatened by him so they fight and Ceaser wins.

for my essay I will being answering "Analyze the factors that contributed to the fall of the Roman Republic." I am answering this question because I feel as if there will be a lot to write about considering so many events to have to do with the fall of the Roman Republic.

The Roman empire had a great impact on roman society in many ways. Civil war: conflict between groups of the same country. Julius Ceaser: A well known military leader triumvirate: A group of three rulers. Augustus: Octavian, the unchallenged ruler of Rome. Pax Romana: Roman peace What lead the Roman empire to begin was because of the hardships Rome was facing because of Rome's increasing wealth and expanding boundaries. The conflict between the rich and the poor started to grow more around this time of the empire. Thus because the rich started owning estates and the poor worked on them. Farmers started to become homeless because they couldn't keep up with their land like the wealthy were. Gaius and Tiberius tried to help put Rome's poor by creating some reforms. Generals began to seize power for themselves as the republic grew. This wasn't good because they replaces the loyal solders that were in the military with poor people. Julius Ceaser started to rule with

The Punic wars: how,where,why and who. The Punic wars were fought against Rome and Carthage. They were mainly fought in Rome. They were fought from 264- 146 B.C. There were 3 of them. The first was from 264-241 B.C. and it was fought mainly a sea, Rome won! The second Punic war was from 218-201 B.C. Carthage attacks Rome from the north. Carthage could seize the peninsula for 15 years but not once got to Rome. The third and last Punic war was fought from 149-146 B.C. Rome wanted to get rid of the threat from Carthage so they burned the walls for 17 days and everything was destroyed. Rome won the wars and the last 50,000 people in Carthage became slaves. The Romans worked long and hard for their victory. The wars were mainly to establish control, they were over dispute etc. Rome will always be remeebr for fighting for 23 years and winning.

The story of Tarquin was so horrible that it made Rome not want to have a king ever again. The city was traumatized by all the horrible things Tarquin and his family had done. Tarquins wife had killed her ex husband and Tarquins ex wife just so she could be with Tarquin, Tarquins son tried to rape and women and he did by blackmailing her, Tarquin and his wife tried to throw out Tarquins wife father in ruling and they did and associated him. Tarquin did so many nasty things and he should've never became king. The structure of the Rome government was two consuls, that replaced the ruling of kings. Consuls were elected for one year and they were always patricians. They had to make laws, command the army, etc. Later on the plebian tried t challenge the patricians ruling and the plebs were most of the population but they had no legal rights. Eve though they had no written rights, Rome never had actual written laws, patricians just took advantage of the power they had. Therefore the pl
