Zusammenfassung:The Roman Republic (509-549 BC) was one of the most important periods in the history of that great civilisation. Set up after the overthrow of the monarchy, the Republic was designed to prevent a tyrant ever ruling Rome again. Power was entrusted to two annually elected consuls, while the Senate acted as their advisory council. In spite of initial instability, Rome grew rapidly from a small city-state into an empire that dominated the Mediterranean. But in 31 BC, after decades of civil war in which great warlords such as Iulius Caesar and Octavian fought for supreme power, the Republic perished. This book provides a fresh account of ancient Rome over five centuries of expansion and shows how ultimately it was the empire that brought the Republic to an end.
