The Roman Empire was one of the most powerful forces the world has ever seen. But this isn’t just the story of conquest or the incredible system of institutions that made it possible. The Roman Empire is not yet another boring historical topic. On the contrary, it wakes our imagination, scares us, and entertains us.

Only now I realize that Star Wars was inspired by Rome. "The end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire".

Kinda funny that I can learn more about the roman empire in a 12 minute YouTube video than in 54 hours of history classes

They came, they saw, they conquered, they became corrupt, they were overpowered. The same story for every empire past or present

I am fascinated by everything about the Roman Republic and the Imperium. Cannot get enough talking to people and hearing their views. I have a major question to all you fans of ancient Rome. What do you attribute as the main reason(s) the republic became an Empire dominated by Caesars (Emperors)? Did the Servile Wars and, more specifically, 3:53 the rebellion of Spartacus so shake the Republic that it led to people taking power like Julius Ceasar and Octavian? Love to hear people's opinion on this. Hugs from North Carolina, ya'll!!
