Answer:
He replaced the elected consuls and the Senate with an empire that could be inherited by members of the ruler's family.
Explanation:
Sulla, not being the Emperor in the modern sense of the word, he, however, possessed sole and unlimited power in the republic. His dictatorship dates back to 83-80 years BC, but the period of his sole rule began, in fact, in the 88th, when Sulla was elected consul. He held this post for eight years against all laws, including the Constitution. Formally, democratic institutions existed under him. There was even a second consul. But this consul was 'technical,' fulfilling the will of Sulla. There was a Senate, which was controlled in the same way by a dictator. The death of Sulla did not lead to major changes. The transition to one-man rule was a matter of time.
Depends on when you are talking about. This sounds like a Biblical Question so I'll answer it that way.
Very surprisingly, during David's time the population wasn't much more than a couple of thousand according to archaeologists. The area covered was no more than 40 acres even during Solomon's time when Jerusalem was a very important city. It may have had a larger population than in David's time, but the size was not much different.
Forty acres was not much. To give you an idea just how big that might be, consider that a section of land is 1 square mile. 1 section = 640 acres.
40 acres is 1/16 of a square mile. That's like 5 city blocks in any direction and that might be overestimating in. Imagine that? I was very surprised to read that. The temple was massive when you read about it and so were the stables for the horses.
Anyway, if I find out any differently, I'll post in comments. These are secular accounts and not Biblical ones, but I don't hear anyone seriously disputing this.
