Answer:
Kingdom, Republic, Empire
(The Period of Kings (625-510 BC), Republican Rome (510-31 BC), and Imperial Rome (31 BC – AD 476)).
<h2>How was the political structure of the Roman Republic/Empire?</h2>
Depending on whichever time you choose to observe, the system of the Roman Empire changes. A different group known as the Etruscans dominated the Romans at the beginning of their history. It was a monarchy throughout this time period.
However, the romans conquered the etruscans in 509 B.C., and as a result, they abhorred anything connected to their foreign overlords. As a result, they established a republic that had some degree of democracy. It was run by a senate made up of Rome's 200 richest families, and the only time a dictatorship was supported was in the event of a serious emergency like war or widespread hunger. Then the senate would choose a dictator who would be given six months to reign before stepping down. These two individuals, who were chosen to serve as the republic's consuls for a year, held the potential to seize brief dictatorship. It lasted for centuries and was known as The Roman Republic.
Nevertheless, it started to deteriorate in 49 B.C. when Julius Ceaser declared himself to be a lifelong ruler. However, in 44 B.C., senators assassinated him. Following it, it first appeared as though The Roman Republic had been rescued.
But that wasn't the case. Octavius (Augustus), Julius Ceaser's adoptive son, was chosen to serve as a republican consul. Later, the Roman Republic was replaced by the Roman Empire in 31 B.C. after Octavius triumphed in a civil war. A monarchy was founded in this system, and the first Emperor was Octavius, who was given the honorific name Augustus in 27 B.C. It remained an empire and a monarchy after that.
One last point to be made about the system is that the church gained more sway in politics when Constantine the Great made Christianity the official religion of Rome.
Therefore, in conclusion to this, Rome mainly had two political systems throughout their time in existence, The Roman Republic and The Roman Empire.
