First of all understand that Rome was an empire under the republic. It had provinces and they were ruled by Roman law from Rome. So it was an empire. What is commonly called the "Roman Empire" is actually the principate. The differences were the forms of government. In the republic the people had voting rights and would elect the officials; in the principate, officials were appointed with little voting. In the republic there was a collective form of government; in the principate it was a one man rule. In the republic the military swore their oaths to their general; in the principate they swore their oaths to the emperor. This was an importance difference, as it prevented a general from using his troops to usurp power. (It didn't always work).

Augustus emerged as the final victor of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic. He used his power to establish himself as an absolute ruler and become the first Roman emperor, starting Rome's 506-year period of rule by emperors. Historians make a confusing use of the term empire. It has two meanings. One is the usual one of conquered territories. The other refers to the period when Rome was ruled by emperors. In Territorial terms, the Roman Republic already had an empire. In fact, much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the period of the Republic.
