Some may recall the image of a “unified” Europe under a single sovereign – the emperor of Rome. However, Rome did not become remarkable at this considerably late phase. In fact, many historians see the history of Rome under the Emperors as a long, gradual decline. It was during the Republic that Rome gained an empire. Most of the achievements that the first emperor of Rome, Octavian Augustus, claimed to have completed were, in fact, earned during the Roman Republic.See all captivating history books here:https://www.amazon.com/author/captivatinghistoryFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/captivatinghistoryFollow us on Twitter: @CaptivHistory
