Ancient Rome, Republic, and Dictator Aim (Sydnie): The aim of Ancient Rome Republic was so that everyone has a say in the government and the government's choices weren’t just made by a dictator or a few people. The author writes, “ This meant that Rome's leaders, such as senators, were elected officials that served for a limited amount of time, not kings who were born into leadership and ruled for life. They had a complex government with written laws, a constitution, and a balance of powers” (Nelson). The Republic worked for hundreds of years until it was finally taken over by dictatorship. The dictatorship was led by Julius Caesar. The Republic helps everyone have a say and not only one leader. The Ancient Rome Republic set a type of government that is used to create modern day democracies. The past ideas of the Republic, influenced future governments which was the aim they didn’t intend but created. Written laws were put down and sense of order was established within Ancient Rome.

Audience (Rachael): Who is the intended audience of the term (how does the term affect the particular audience in mind). The audience of this is modern day society and it affects us in many different ways. Ancient Rome and its government has affected the way that modern governments have been created. Researchers found out, “Nevertheless, by 197 BC Rome had set up the first provincial government, dividing the dominion into a nearer (northern) and farther (southern) province” (Lewis). The Roman government influenced the way that modern governments are set up. It shows that the rest of the world may be divided but that all types of governments come from the original Roman Government. Though little was documented on what really happened throughout its history, Roman Empire was the most powerful; empire in the world at its time. The widely known Empire was extremely powerful before its fall. The [|Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica] say, “When Rome had already completed its conquest of [|Italy], established itself as a major power of the ancient world, and become involved in a gigantic struggle with [|Carthage] for control of the western [|Mediterranean] ” ( [|The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica] ). The Roman Empire affects modern day society by proving that the larger the Empire the less stable it may be. I was very powerful in its time era, however it fell because of the lack of the right government.

Historical (Helena): What is the historical impact of the term? Ancient Rome was influenced by a republic and this gave people in Roman history to decide on war and peace. Rome had a big influence in the history ahead of them. The author explains,” The two consuls (who had come to replace the king) were primarily generals whose task it was to lead Rome’s armies in war. In times of military emergency, when unity of command was sometimes necessary, Rome appointed a [|dictator]  in place of the consuls, who, however, could not hold supreme military command for longer than six months” ( [|The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica] ). Rome had control of its government even during war times, making the rules for dictators to have control no longer than 6 months. This made the Republic stronger than ever, which made Rome powerful. Rome won many battles against different cities and tribes, giving Rome expansion of land and control over the Mediterranean area. These victories of Rome stood out in history but later caused slavery to break out. Soon, the economy started to collapse and slavery started to break out. Rome had one of the best victories in history but also had one of the greatest collapses in history.

Cultural (Kayden): Ancient Rome was an empire that quickly expanded throughout Europe. It was first a Republic but quickly became ran by dictators. Modern culture is impacted by the term Ancient Rome because it thinks of it as one of the most powerful empires. The cultural impact of a republic is that it is still a government system used today.These “ concepts became very important in forming future democratic governments, like the United States”(Nelson). The cultural impact of dictator is very negative. In past history, dictators have always lead their country into bad situations and mistreated their people. FOr example Adolf Hitler killed millions of people.
