Mid Rome

The Roman Empire (Principate) - 27 BCE–284 CE

A period of representative government dominated by the Senate and consuls that saw Rome expand from a small city-state to a dominant Mediterranean power.

Following the overthrow of the monarchy, Rome developed into a Republic with a complex system of checks and balances. This period saw Rome expand its influence across Italy and featured notable leaders like Julius Caesar, along with internal conflicts that set the stage for future changes.
