    Over the course of a century, Rome transformed from a republic to an empire under Augustus' control. Two key figures, Pompey and Julius Caesar, originally allies but later bitter enemies, both conquered vast territories but their power led to inevitable war, which Caesar won, becoming Rome's first emperor. A century later, Augustus finally defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra to end democracy and establish himself as ruler, reforming the calendar and building projects while directly controlling most Roman provinces.

    In the space of a hundred years, Rome was transformed from a republic with democratic institutions into an empire under

    the control of one man - Augustus 1. Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus The two protagonists were Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus ('Pompey the Great', as he was called, after Alexander the Great) and Julius Caesar. They were originally allies but they became bitter enemies. Both had conquered vast tracts of territory: Pompey in what is now Turkey, Caesar in France. But the fact is that, given the power each had accrued and their entrenched opposition, war between them was almost inevitable. Pompey was dead and Caesar was left as the first emperor of Rome. 2. Julius Caesar He not used the old title of dictator.His most lasting innovation was his reform of the calendar and the introduction of the system of 'leap years' that we still use today.He too was murdered by a posse of senators, in the name of 'liberty'.

    A century before, Julius Caesar had invaded Britain with the aim of conquest. But revolt in Gaul (modern-day France) had drawn him away before he had beaten down determined British guerrilla resistance. In the popular Roman imagination, it was a place of marsh and mist, inhabited by ferocious blue-painted warriors. Here was a fine testing-ground of an emperor's fitness to rule.

    3. Marck Anthony 4. Augustus Democracy ended when Augustus finally defeated his last remaining rivals Mark Antony and Cleopatra and established himself on the throne.Rich aristocrats dominated politics. In order to become one of the annually elected 'magistrates' (who in Rome were concerned with all aspects of government, not merely the law) a man had to be very rich. Even the system of voting was weighted to give more influence to the votes of the wealthy Octavian (as he was called) established the political structure that was to be the basis of Roman imperial government for the next four centuries.He also directly controlled most of the provinces of the Roman world through his subordinates.He invested on building projects.When he died in he was succeeded by his stepson, Tiberius.

    5.

    Tiberius

    Tiberius Gracchus, held the office of 'tribune' (a junior magistracy which had originally been founded to protect the interests of the common people.He proposed to distribute to poor citizens stretches of state-owned land in Italy which had been illegally occupied by the rich. But instead of following the usual practice of first consulting the 'senate', he presented his proposal directly to an assembly of the people.Gracchus's land bill was passed. But he was murdered by a posse of senators. 6. 7. Caligula Claudius

    For the Claudian invasion, an army of professional soldiers were landed in Britain under the command of Aulus Plautius. The Romans fought a war of sieges to reduce the great Iron Age hill forts of the western tribes.
    8. Nero

    Later, under the provincial governor Gnaeus Julius Agricola, the Romans occupied northern Britain, reaching what is now called the Moray Firth in 84 AD. This, though short of total victory, was to be the high water mark of the Roman empire in Britain.
