How were the leaders chosen to rule the roman republic?
In the days of the republic, government officials were elected and most could select their own assistants. They were usually men from prominent families, either of the wrong age to run for public office on their own, or a politically connected family. In the days of the principate, the major officials were appointed, and generally the officials could select their own working partners, but there were times when the emperor appointed assistants as well. Many times an official was appointed on the basis of who he knew, not on what he knew.

When did Mark Antony become emperor?
Mark Antony never became emperor, as we use the term today. The title "imperator" originally was an honor bestowed on military commanders by the legions after great victories. Many Roman generals were declared imperator by troops, including Mark Antony who ruled as a member of a triumvirate that included Octavian (Ceasar's adopted son and heir) but they had a falling out and later led opposing factions in a civil war. Antony committed suicide after his defeat by Octavian, who cooped the name imperator (from which our emperor derives) as a substitute for king which had negative connotations for the Roman people. Roman dictators served for a set period of years and the office was not hereditary; thus, that office did not suite the purposes of Octavian (later known as Augustus). He had the Roman senate declare him emperor with all the powers of a king, eventually including the hereditary right to pass on his office to his chosen heir. Antony never held sole power equivalent to a king as did Augustus.
