Classwork 12/9

     Rome was strong and one of the greatest empires ever. The downside to this is that as the empire became better the republic got worse and soon failed. One reason why this happened is because of the use of violence by the Roman elite. Another reason for this is because Julius Cesaer was killed. He was the one who brought order to Rome.
     The Roman Republic came to an end when Casear governed as a absolute ruler. Another reason why the republic fell was when a Republican statesmen became in affect, Octavian.
