2 Paragraph Why the republic in rome failed

         In rome the republic failed to achieve or to better. One reason why they failed was that they many people on the army and when that happen they used a bunch of money that could bring the economy or the wealth of rome. Second reason was that many slaves where captured and most of them could of been workers in rome, not just be people doing stuff for other people and not earn money. Third reason was that Julius ceasar started colonies and would take up land that could of been other people land or property. Fourth reason was that trade was easier because of the coinage and that could of brought it down even the democracy. Fifth reason was that rome was rich but they spent a lot of money and could of did bad to rome when they needed something when they didn't have money to afford it. 

          

        They also it fell was the use of violence by the Roman elite. Marius , Sulla, Pompey and Gaius Julius Caesar had in effect with the private armies that looked to them for retirement packages and to defend their interests. The growth in both territory and wealth and the dislocations that this caused. Republic came to and end when one Republican statesman became in effect a monarch, Octavian, later to become the first Roman Emperor Augustus.

        Its population numbered between 60 and 80 million people. About 1 million people lived in the city of Rome itself. Agriculture was the most important industry in the empire.Almost 90% of the people were farmers. A silver coin named Adenarius was in used the empire. Rome had a network for trading.

Agriculture was very important in the empire. Most Romans survived on the produce from their local area.a silver coin called a denarius was in use throughout the empire. Having common coinage made trade between different parts of the empire much easier. Something i consider negative is that the rich would get more things than the poor.

3) 

  The role that Julius Caesar played in the decline of the republic and the rise of the empire is that he emerged to bring order to Rome and dominated Rome as a triumirate.

 The thing that interests me about Rome is how Caesar came to power and his death.
