Andreyy89
Two thousand years ago, the world was ruled by Rome, but Rome could not rule itself. It took two men to wrestle Rome back from chaos and turn a republic into an empire.

<span>In the first century BC, Rome was a republic. Power lay in the hands of the Senate, elected by Roman citizens. But the </span>senators<span> were fighting for power between themselves. Order had given way to anarchy and only might was right. </span>

Dirty politics 

Julius Caesar<span> was convinced something had to change. Rising through the political ranks, he eventually became governor of Gaul. This gave him the chance to make lots of money, while his abilities as a general brought him power and respect. </span>

<span>By 50 BC, Caesar had made many powerful enemies. With his life under threat, he invaded Italy. Over the next few years, he defeated his enemies and seized power for himself. </span>

<span>But his rule would be brief. After just two years, he was murdered by senators who were fed up with his autocratic style. Rome was again threatened with chaos. </span>

New kid on the block

<span>Enter </span>Augustus<span>, Caesar's nephew and heir. An ambitious man from an average family, this was Augustus' big chance. With his ally, Marc Antony, he fought and killed Caesar's old enemies. Victorious, he divided the spoils: Augustus took Rome and Antony got Egypt. </span>

<span>The peace did not last long. Antony was quickly seduced by Egypt's queen, Cleopatra. Augustus suspected that the two wanted Rome for themselves. Before they could threaten him, Augustus attacked. </span>

Run like an Egyptian 

<span>The Battle of Actium was a huge victory. Around three-quarters of the Egyptian fleet were destroyed and both Antony and </span>Cleopatra<span> committed suicide before they could be captured. </span>

<span>In Rome, Augustus was a hero. In 31 BC, he became Rome's first emperor. The transformation from republic to empire was complete. </span>
