| | Roman Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to Roman mythology, after the end of the Trojan war, the Trojan prince Aeneas sailed across the Mediterranean Sea to Italy and founded the city of Lavinium. | | | Pompey, who previously had been the leader of the Triumvirate and, indeed, of the republic, was beginning to see his authority threatened by Caesar, whose campaigns in Gaul were vastly increasing his prestige, fortune and power. | | | Following the scandal of the Gracchi, Roman politics became a mix of traditional forms, demagoguery, and mob violence. |

| | From a Republic to Emperor Augustus |
| | Many Romans must have thought that their troubles were over, that at last a champion of the people had secured power. | | | Caesar was not a bloodthirsty man, but popularity was important to him, and to maintain the support of his soldiers he submitted to their passion for blood. | | | In 26 BCE, to protect commerce, he allowed a military expedition to be sent against southern Arabs who were trying to maintain a monopoly of trade with India and the coast of Somalia. |

| | There are two stories involved in the nearly five hundred years of the Roman Republic's existence: (1) the growth of Rome from a village to the capital of the known world, (2) and the struggle of the plebians for a greater share in running the state. | | | The local Roman commander took one look at the survivors and declared: "They are the ghosts and shadows of men already half dead. | | | In 27 B.C. he held a carefully staged meeting, in which he told the Senate that he had restored the Republic; then, because the crisis that brought him to power was over, he offered to resign. |

| | Now, a form of collectivism, of subordinating the individual to the state, is not alien to Roman sensibility, as considered elsewhere. | | | The Communists who attempted a revolution in Berlin in 1919, led by Rosa Luxemburg, were the "Spartacists," seeing workers through Marxist theory as slaves under Capitalism. | | | The fasces, "bundles," axes tied with red ribbon in a bundle of birch (or elm) rods, were symbols of the imperium, "command," the power and authority of the Roman State and of its offices, each carried by a lictor who accompanied officials. |

| | Twelfth-century China had an elite government official for every 15,000 subjects, as compared to Rome, which had one for every 400,000 people in the empire. | | | The Roman Republic was a form of government that worked well with a city-state or even a group of powerful city-states in control of a region. | | | Historians often focus on political leaders, but it is local grievances about high taxes, crime, or the price of bread that most often provoke people to revolt against a government. |

| | In the Republic there were different parts of the Government. | | | It then became a Republic because the people of Rome didn't like the way that King Tarquinius had ruled: they said he was a TYRANT (Nasty and greedy man). | | | The people though had a lot of power as they could vote to say yes or no to decisions at an Assembly. |

| | Eventually, prominent Plebians could rise to the highest offices in the state, and a highly complex governing system evolved. | | | One by one, the old aristocratic privileges of the elite were eroded, but there was one key area to wihch the Aristocrats clung, and the ideology of the time didn't allow the plebians to assume control. | | | The ancient Romans rebelled and forcibly expelled their last king, Tarquin the Proud, an Etruscan or a Latin/Italian who had adopted an Etruscan name. |

| | Originally, the wars which the Republic fought were largely defensive wars; the expulsion of the Tarquins provoked many attacks by their allies and by Etruscans. | | | The Romans had at the beginning of the Republic a constitution which had laid down the traditions and institutions of government; this constitution, however, was not a formal or even a written document, but rather a series of unwritten traditions and laws. | | | Roman conquest, then, was pursued largely for Roman security; the end result of this process would be, first, the conquest of the entire Italian peninsula by 265 BC, and then the conquest of the world. |
