The Roman Republic • Romans developed system of laws to protect citizens basic rights - two consuls served at head of government; one-year term limit - lawmaking body called Senate acted as check on consuls power

The Roman Republic • Powerful, well-organized army conquered all of present-day Italy • Rome defeated Carthage, North Africa in Punic Wars (264–146 B.C.) - victory gave Romans control over majority of Mediterranean Sea

Decline of the Republic • Expanding republic grew unstable; class-based civil war broke out • Julius Caesar claimed sole power in 45 B.C.; murdered by opponents • Caesar's adopted son took power; claimed title Augustus—divine one
