Answer 3

During the 1st century BC the Roman Republic descended into civil war as first one strong man then another tried to rule, but using the republican system. Sulla made himself dictator for a while. There were purges of senators. Julius Caesar made his name effectively by staying away from Rome for lengthy periods of time, not least during his Gallic Wars, but all the time keeping the Senate up to date with what was going on - painting himself in a good light. In 60BC he formed the Triumvirate with Crassus and Pompey, a way by which 3 men could rule as equals, the idea being that no one of them could become king or emperor, the ides of a monarchy being anathema the Romans. However, that broke down due to squabbling between the three men which led to outright war in which Caesar was eventually the victor. He followed Pompey to Egypt whence he had fled (and was killed). Caesar met with and dallied with Cleopatra for several years, a thing that shocked the moral Roman Senate. In 49BC at the head of an army which he was commanding in Gaul he 'crossed the Rubicon', a small stream in Northern Italy beyond which no general was supposed to pass with the troops he was in command of. That put him on a collision course with the Senate.and further civil war ensued. Caesar was victorious, again. He made himself dictator for life and gradually fears arose amongst his opponents that he wanted to make himself Emperor. They, therefore, arranged his assassination. Yet again, civil war broke out and eventually Julius' adopted son was victorious. He did make himself Emperor as Augustus. This time, the Romans, sick and tired of nearly two centuries of civil strife were happy to accept the position as it led to an ear of stability.
