It was money, power, and influence that caused a breakdown in the republic. “Power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts ultimately.”

Many of the emperors of Rome were actually enlightened despots. Unfortunately, most of them were simply power-hungry tyrants.

The first was Augustus Caesar, who said that he supported the

He ruled for 40 years and…

rebuilt roads, imported grain to rid Rome of poverty, expanded trade routes, established a stronger civil service, stopped Proconsuls from exploiting their people, rebuilt the damaged buildings, was a patron of the arts, but failed to make a system for selecting future leaders.
