the first ruler who took Rome from a republic is AUGUSTUS.
I would live peacefully to an old age and be forgotten. I really don’t care if people remember me after I die, I just hope I live a good life and maybe make an impact on the world without the world knowing it was me. You know, just doing random acts of kindness as they call them, touching someone’s life anonymously.
I believe it was punishment by hanging which meant death
The Romans were well known for their ever-adapting military machine. They would adapt the useful things from certain nations they conquered and would take out the ones they didn't consider to be useful from their own military structure. This enabled the Roman conquesting force a good portion of flexibility through time.
