Athenian democracy, Roman Republic, Roman Empire
This is a confusing question. First please remember that Rome was already an empire under the republic. What is erroneously called the "Roman empire" is the Principate. The government of the republic was by popular election while the government of the principate was by appointment. Both forms of government used the senate as a consulting body.

Athenian democracy, Roman Republic, Roman Empire
the Empire was virtually a Dictatorship and the republic was a democracy
Julius Caesar is the military leader and the dictator who transformed the roman republic into an roman empire. He assumed total power after transforming the republic into the empire.
The Roman Republic was ended by the takeover of the senate by Ceaser. He essentially became the supreme ruler, or emporer. So essentially, the Roman Republic was replaced by the Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire had nothing to do with the Romans. It was a medieval institution centred around Germany. The Roman republic became an empire by expansion both before and after the Punic wars.
Yes!
Roman Republic 4xx to 28 BCE. Roman Empire 28 BCE to 476 CE, however the Byzantine Empire in the east continued until 1453 CE.
During Caesar's lifetime Rome was still a republic.
The Roman Republic preceded it.
The Byzantine Empire lasted for a millennium.
There really is no major difference. The Roman Empire was the empire itself, lasting from 27 BCE-476 AD (1453 for the Eastern half, which came to be the Byzantine Empire). In the beginning the Roman empire was an autocracy, headed by emperors. It then later turned into a republic, which is when people use the term Roman Republic or Republic of Rome. This is actually where the modern day type of republic comes from, Rome.
The mass movement of peoples from Eurasia into the Empire overwhelmed the Roman ability to retain control.
