Caesar was the final dictator, his nephew became the 1st Emperor and didn't change much of the system's gov't power beyond placing Emperor above Consuls. The system didn't get fucked until after Augustus even.
plus Caesar ran the gov't like a populist and kept ensuring the people got shit. He basically got ganked in all reality as the senate saw him as being disrespectful as he had terrible diarrhea according to some versions of the story and he wouldn't stand at that specific meeting because he would have shit himself
imagine the last few meetings you got up and left to shit because you had diarrhea and people got pissed with you to the point where if you did it this time, or even stand because they demand it, you shit yourself. Imagine how bad it has to be if you're suffering from essentially dysentery over the past 3 days, and get stabbed for it.
well that's..... an interesting way of looking at it
the other way would be he installed himself into power by marching the army on the city itself
an act no legitimate government can survive for long
He did march into the city and declare himself dictator, i'm not denying it. As Pompey even declared himself dictator before he took it himself
Becoming dictator as a title isn't hard. Dictator was even a title traded off between consuls when one left to go to war and had to stay out for long periods of time, the other became dictator and they traded.
Caesar's reason was that pompey was a dickhead who took the glory for his actions in Gaul, that's why he marched across and went to civil war.
true enough, but they voluntarily vacated the title when their time was up
Caesar said "nah, its me, period."
He was no Nero, but still
or was I thinking Calligula... fuck now they're blending together
Caesar wasn't even dictator for the full duration a dictator could even last on the chair. And Dictator the title itself could be extended. Which they did by popular opinion at the time due to changes and reforms he planned and were setting into motion. While he is meant to swap places with a consul every 6 months, they never did because the others were dead.
where was I... Slavery didn't seriously negatively affect the republic until they outpopulated the citizen soldiers coming home from tours
