summary: As the governments leaders changed it seemed to get stronger, with new ideas flowing. These new ideas brought different ways for the Roman’s to have each aspect of their society flowing together. Caesar defeated Pompey in Greece with a strong army before heading over to Rome to become dictator. He changed up the social system by giving the poor jobs to build buildings for Rome. Caesar spread the Romans citizenship by expanding into the provinces of Italy. Augustus then brought art into the political picture by building huge, beautiful buildings to glorify Rome. The entire empire was over flown with Christian’s years after Augustus died. Many years before Christianity overcame the Romans the Roman began to collapse. This is when Caesar joined forces with Crauss and Pompey beginning their powerful reign for ten years. Caesar was a powerful and strong leader who went on to lead in Gaul. In 46 B.C. Caesar returned back to Rome and was appointed himself as dictator. Two years later he was named the dictator for life. Caesar's method of governing was as an absolute ruler. This meant the Caesar had total power with this power Caesar gave many new people Roman citizenship. Caesar also expanded the senate, which helped Rome gain many new alliances from the people of Italy and other regions. By wanting new buildings to appear in Rome, he created new jobs for the poor. Colonies were people without land could own property were created during Caesars rule, he also gave soldiers a pay increase. Different powerful nobles and senators were troubled by Caesar's power because they thought that their influence would fade. Some even thought of Caesar as a tyrant. Lucky for these men Caesar was stabbed to death in 44 BC. Mark Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus all came together to take control of Rome after Caesar’s [|death] in 44 BC. After a short period of time, the three became extremely envious of one another ending their alliance. Once Octavian convinced Lepidus to retire, he and Mark Antony plotted against each other in a civil war they began. Eventually, Mark Antony killed himself with his love, Cleopatra. Octavian then, finally took control of Rome changing his name to [|Augustus] meaning “exalted one”. Augustus taking over Rome was a great step forward for the Roman government. He held their government together by creating a civil service in which people were paid to handle the government’s affairs. These workers handled grain supply, postal services, and tax collections. He also created a very steady frontier and showed Rome’s value by creating beautiful public [|buildings]. Augustus had numerous people involved in his government including former slaves and civil servants. Although Augustus died in AD 14 his government stayed together for centuries because of the stability he had created.
