• The Roman Republic started to loss their soldiers, so later they had German soldiers, but the German soldiers had no loyalty to the employers. So they didn’t take the command, later on they made the republic fell. 

• High taxes was another big problem.

• Also there was a sickness that spreads fast and it killed about 20% of Rome’s population over 150 years. 

• The Rise Of the Roman Empire:

• Before Rome was under control of the people but when Julius Caesar came to take the throne, he stopped the Roman Republic and made himself the only ruler. 

• Later Julius Caesar got stabbed and his son Augustas took the place. Under Augustas’s control the Roman Republic became the Roman Empire.
