Does anyone know about Roman government?

Question

I need to learn about Roman government, the different parties of the government and their duties of cerca 44 BC Rome. If anyone knows a little about history please help me out

Answer 1

The Roman government had no political parties, at least not in the way we think of political parties. Offices were largely a campaign of individuals, and many times elections were actually bought. The traditional Roman Republican government was lead by a Senate headed by two Consuls. The lower classes (the plebes) had a seperate house headed by up to ten Tribunes.

However, by 44 BCE, Roman politics was in the middle of massive political change. In that year, Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of Senators that believed he was out to destroy the Republic, as he had recently been named Dictator for Life (a post normally only given in times of crisis and only for a very short period). With Caesar's death, Rome was thrown into chaos as Octavius, Marcus Antionius, and Lepidicus would form the Second Triumvarate, an alliance of three general/statesmen who held dictatorial powers over Rome, but pledged not to oppose the other, and campaigned against the conspirators led by Cassius and Marcus Brutus. The chaos of these civil wars would not fully clear until 27 BCE when Caesar's nephew, Octavius, became Caesar Augustus, Rome's first Emperor or Princips. Under the new system, while the Senate, Plebian Assembly, Consuls, and Tribunes would remain, their authority was greatly reduced and the highest executive authority was placed in the hands of the Princips, at 27 BCE, Augustus.

Answer 2

The Roman government in 44 BC was the same as usual. They elected two consuls every year, as they did until AD 520 or so. There were also several quaestors, praetors, aediles and tribunes. The assassination of Julius Caesar and the installation of Octavius made no difference. The Senate continued to meet and pass laws, and the magistrates were elected for hundreds of years. That was the mistake of Julius Caesar, which Octavius Caesar did not repeat.
