how was rome before julius caesar became in rule.. what about after.. was it for the better or worse?

Answer 1

Rome was a republic. Around the time of Pompey and Julius Caesar, it turned into an empire. It still had plenty of military glory ahead of it, and the supposedly greatest emperors came after Caesar, but I take the view that when republics turn into empires, they sow the seeds of their own destruction.

As always, there are certain lessons that can be drawn from the past. We're heading down a similar route in the United States today.

Check the sourced link, it's quite a nice article.

Answer 2

It was a republic ran by Senators who would select two "primates", to lead the government. ( i think that the term "primate" is wrong, but the rest is true)

After Caesar's campaign in Gaul, the Senators became very fearful of his power, so they killed him. A power struggle ensued, and Octavian became the first Roman emperor.

The one powerful ruler, destroyed Rome. It hit its zenith under an emperor, but declined steadily thereafter.

As a republic, they would have lasted much longer. The Senate, the connection to the people, would have remained in control and led a better government.

Answer 3

I understand that the Romans were very busy. They were always very busy with everyday chores. :)
