Reasons the Roman Republic Declined and Fell Demagogues Wealth & Corruption Expansionism Evolution of Military

Demagogues Demagogue: an ambitious politician who appealed to the common people for support in order to increase their own power.

Demagogues Client: a Roman who is dependant on a wealthy and powerful politician. Clients could get loans, special political favors, business contracts, and legal defense from the politicians who supported them. In return, the clients would vote for their politician in elections.

Populares vs. Optimates Caesar Sulla Optimates: Conservative patrician politicians who supported government in the hands of the patricians (people who had a stake in the financial and political success of the Republic). They built networks of clients among young and ambitious politicians in order to maintain the status quo. Populares: Demagogues who look to the plebian s, or common citizens, for support. They built huge networks of clients among the plebeians, by trading favors and supporting popular reforms.

Wealth & Corruption The continuous military expansion of the Republic brought a continuous flood of slaves, plunder, and trade into Rome. Whoever could control this flow of wealth could control the course of Roman politics. Whoever controls the government can give out favors to build support.

Wealth & Corruption Way to control the flow of wealth: Get a military command Become governor of a province The Roman Republic experiences a series of successful military commanders who seize control as dictators. Marius Sulla Caesar

Wealth and Corruption Wealth is used to breed political corruption in Roman politics. Populares built networks of clients to put them in power Optimates built networks of clients to protect their traditional power. This leads to lots of political violence, riots, political gangs, assassinations, and civil wars.

Roman Expansionism Financing the politics of Roman is dependant on the continual flow of new wealth into Rome. This leads to a tireless conquest and expansion of Roman power in the last century of the Roman Republic.

Roman Expansionism Caesar as Governor of Gaul After a decade of amazing military achievement, Caesar conquered all of Gaul The Senate became scared by his growing power and recalled him as an outlaw

Changes in the Military Why were the soldiers ready to follow Caesar but not Pompey?

Changes in the Military Rome got too big to be governed effectively by a Republican government It began using military governors to govern it’s provinces. This was a natural place for ambitious leader to come to power. As the Roman legions expanded, there were not enough citizens. The Roman soldier changed from a volunteer Roman citizen, to a paid career soldier. Who are you loyal to? Some distant Republic? Or a commander that brings you glory and riches?

Legacy of Julius Caesar After victory became Dictator-for-Life Assassinated by political rivals Rome descends into 20 years of civil war. Republic is dead Roman Empire is founded bring 200 years of peace and 400 years of domination
