Answer 2

The Roman Empire came into existence before there was an Emperor to rule it. As we define it today, an empire is a state consisting of many nations. We also say that an emperor is someone who rules an empire.

The Roman Empire began about 150BC when Rome won the last of the Punic Wars against the city of Carthage in North Africa, thus giving Rome all that land in North Africa. About the same time, Rome absorbed Greece. The king of Pergamon, a city in what is now Turkey, willed his city state to the Roman senate because he could not see how they were to continue otherwise. So Rome found itself the ruler of vast lands of many peoples.

The English word emperor comes from the Latin "imperator," which means a person who holds the maius imperium, the "great power." The maius imperium was the power to order Roman citizens punished with death or beating without trial. This power was routinely voted to generals by the senate, because generals had to punish deserters or those who disobeyed orders at once. Their power expired when they returned to Rome.

But once Octavius Caesar Augustus had defeated and killed the assassins of Julius Caesar and warred down Marc Antony and Cleopatra, one of the things that the senate did was to vote Octavius the maius imperium for life. Thus he became the first life imperator, or as we say, "emperor." So first Rome acquired an empire, then it acquired an emperor (LOL).
