The Fall of the Roman Republic

I tried to explain why a large amount of ink leaked out of historians and behind the collapse of the Republic of Rome. As Mr. Gruen pointed out, "From Montesquieu to Momson, from Thomas Arnold to Edward Meyer ... The disasters of the Republic led to extensive speculation, why did it happen?" (1) Of course, Speaking from, it can be said that the appeal of this event is exaggerated to some extent. It is based on the belief in the stability of the political regime and the deterrent of the possibility of a sudden change in the political worldview. And general social arrangements and structures.

In order to fully understand how the Roman Empire and its function work, it is necessary to firstly define and interpret the collapse of the Roman Republic. Initially, the only realistic way to tackle the Roman political ladder was your previous family connection and your influence on Roman people. Curse is the actual process of moving to Rome's political position. All local governments in the Roman Republic became part of the Senate. The Roman Republic continued to deteriorate from the 5th century BC to 30 BC, so the power of the Senate continued to decline. Some believe that the collapse of power is directly related to the collapse of the power of the Roman Senate. The Roman tradition has become increasingly important to the politicians of the Roman Republic afterwards, until the year 30 BC Roman tradition was thought to be the past.

After the collapse of the Republic of Rome, the balance of constitutional power was transferred from the Roman Senate to Roman Emperor. In fact it holds its legal status in the Republic, but in reality the real powers of the Imperial Senate are negligible because the emperor has real power in the state. Therefore, the accession of the Senate is pursued by individuals seeking prestige and social status, not actual authority. About 100 to 200 senators were active at a time, the first emperor Augustus reduced the number of senators from 900 to 600. After that, the size of the Senate has not changed so much. Under the reign of the empire people can be senators through candidates elected by the election (a local judge with financial responsibility), like the back of the Republic, but becoming a senator You can do it at the Senator level.
