According to Rome's founding legend, while twins Romulus and Remus were building the city, Romulus killed Remus and named the city after himself. When one thinks of Rome though, these twins are not who come to mind.
Instead, people often think of Julius Caesar. Caesar, a general, was elected to the Senate and then became a consul. Fearing the Senate had an overpowering political stronghold, Caesar, along with Roman general Pompey, founded the First Triumvirate, a powerful military-political alliance. However, arguments between Caesar and Pompey in 60 BCE led to a Roman Civil War, and Pompey was defeated in 48 BCE.
Caesar wanted more and more power, and when he declared himself "dictator for life," many members of the Senate worried about Rome going from a democracy to a dictatorship.
Soon after, Caesar was assassinated and his adopted son Octavian emerged as the sole ruler of Rome. Until then, the Roman Republic usually had at least two consuls at the top. Now there was just Octavian. He changed his name to Augustus, and he was quick to consolidate power to eventually become the first Roman emperor, ending republican rule.
With which of these statements would Julius Caesar most likely agree?
A) Having a Senate is an important way to keep one person from becoming too powerful.
B) Rome must remain a democracy rather than become a dictatorship.
C) The Senate should worry when consuls become too powerful.
D) The consul, not the members of the Senate should be the most powerful people in the government.
