Near the end of the Roman Republic, the First Triumvirate was established, consisting of Caesar, Crassus, and Magnus. This did not have any power; it was simply the most powerful men of the time. Julius Caesar was appointed consul, but was also a powerful general, and eventually removed the other men nearing his power and seized control of the republic, being named dictator. This was not the end yet, however, as the senators assassinated him, and the Republic survived.
Some time after his death, the Second Triumvirate was established, with Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus. This Triumvirate had the power to do whatever it pleased; Octavian eventually declared war on and defeated Antony, and Lepidus was left in the shadows. Octavian, adopted nephew of Julius Caesar, renamed himself Augustus Caesar and became the first emperor. From this point, the empirical rule was either handed down by kinship or taken by force.

TaigaRome came under the rule of an emperor because the republic had grown corrupt and collapsed. Octavian won the right to rule by military victories and by being granted powers by the senate. He chose his successor and all other emperors were supposed to do the same.

What was the government called when emperors ruled rome?
The first Roman government was called the Roman Kingdom. According to legend, the Trojan hero Aeneas, son of Venus, fled from Troy and landed on the west coast of Italy, where he settled. His descendants ruled that part of Italy as Kings of Alba Longa, named after the city from which they ruled. Many generations later, the King of Alba Longa named Numitor had a daughter named Rhea Silvia, who became a Vestal Virgin. She soon broke her vow of chastity by having twin boys with Mars, the god of war. These boys, Romulus and Remus, were raised by a she-wolf, and founded a city on the banks of the Tiber River. Romulus then killed Remus and named the city after himself, calling it Rome. Romulus and his descendants were monarchs of the Roman Kingdom. In the Sixth Century B.C. the monarchy was abolished, and replaced with the Roman Republic, which expanded rapidly across the Mediterranean.
Where did Emperors live in Ancient Rome?
