Caesars assassin's were more concerned with saving their own power than saving the republic. This is because they lost their power when Caesar showed up. So they killed Caesar, trying to regain their own power but not saving the republic at all.

Pax Romana was 200 years of peace only in Rome. This led to many invasions one of the most impactful was the Barbarians. Another reason that the Pax Romana ended is because Marcus Aurelius died. After his death whoever was emperor changed a lot and there was a lot of instability in Rome.

We think that they were concerned about their own power. Caesar was taking power from them to the plebeians and they wanted more power. They had to assassinate him to regain the power.

Augustus never took the title of dictator, he instead gave the senate of the weaker provinces while actually maintaining ctrl of more powerful provinces with more powerful military. in this way he could be thought of as democratic while actually maintaining complete power.

It was mixed because the assassins thought that they were saving the government. Some of them thought they were preserving power for other and theirselves because they thought Caesar had too much power.

Augustus conquered Egypt with other people, but took all of the credit making him seem very powerful. He also took Caesars name to imply that he was just as strong. This is seen when he makes a coin with the words " Egypt Captured" and "Caesar" with his face.

Before Caesar, plebeians were being forced out of jobs by cheap slave labor. Caesar implemented a law mandating that 1/3 of all jobs must be held by a plebeian, mitigating that issue. Additionally, revolts were occurring across the Republic with allies resenting the fact that they fought and paid taxes but still didn't get the rights of citizens, which Caesar fixed by granting them citizenship.

I think that Caesar's assassinators wanted to preserve their own power because they were scared that Caesar was going to take away their power. In the end I think Caesar being assassinated did save Rome because Caesar wasn't giving a lot of rights to the plebeians but Augustus did, this impacted Rome in a positive way.

Augustus gave himself all of the important military jobs instead of naming himself dictator. When people needed help, he could swoop in and save the day. This made it seem like he wasn't trying to take power while actually taking all of it.

The Pax Romana was a period of peace for 200 years with no civil wars. It ended because Marcus Aurelius died and his successor Commodus was unruly and caused problems that led to civil wars. This started a period of violence and many assassinations of the current ruler which caused Rome to die.

The Pax Romana was a 200 year period of relative peace in Rome while Augustus was in rule. It ended because Rome had unstableness and war all around, weakening the empire. For example, too many people took the role of emperor at once, often fighting for power when one died. There were attacks from outside, and corruption inside. The western empire fell first, weakening Rome while cutting it in half.

The Pax Romana was a time period of peace which lasted 200 years. The Roman empire fell because of unstable rule, constant enemy attacks, and a failing economy. The Barbarians attacked the western side, which was weaker, which led to the eastern side getting surrounded by enemies.

Before Caesar, the republic was falling apart because of ongoing fights between plebs and pats. He fixed this by stepping in and fixing these major abuses of plebs. Also, most of Rome's provinces were not stable, so he made alliances with foreign allies to help w/ this. Caesar also generally reorganized the gov b/c it was unstable.

Caesar's assassins mostly cared about maintaining their own power and status than doing what's right for their society. When Caesar took power he gave more rights to the plebs, therefore taking power away from patricians such as the "Liberators". Angry about this lack of power, they assassinated Caesar, but didn't have a plan for what to do after in order to bring back the Republic. We can also see that they didn't have a problem when Sulla was in power, likely because he kept rights with the patricians.

The Pax Romana was 200 years of peace in Rome. During the year of 5 Emperors, Rome was split into two halves and one side was making more money than the other. The army wasn't loyal to Rome and it got chaotic in the military. The emperors were more focused on supporting the economy than protecting Rome from invaders. Too many emperors were assassinated which proves how the Roman people and slaves were not loyal to one emperor or cause.

He took credit for things he didn't necessarily do like conquering Egypt. He gave the senate weaker provinces so it seemed like they had power but they had no protection. He also made the senate smaller from 900 to 600. He did all of this so he would seem more hardworking and accomplished.

The republic fell apart before Caesar because there too much fighting for power, and unfair treatment to the plebeians. Caesar tried to fix this by making reforms to give them more rights and added more seats in the senate for plebeians to give them a stronger voice in the government.

Before Caesar the plebeians had no power and were being mistreated and there were many civil wars. Caesar fixed this by reforming laws. He gave the plebeians more rights even letting them be in the Senate. Even though this led to conflict it still made the government better.

The main way Augustus was able to take power from the Senate was by only giving it control of the weaker, unarmed provinces. He claimed that he wanted it to have the peaceful and easier provinces while he endured the hardships of stronger ones such as Egypt, but his real motive was likely that only he would have arms and soldiers, and therefore power.

Before Caeser became dictator plebeians didn't have as many rights as patricians. The government was flawed in many ways which led to an unfair government. Caesar tried to fix it by expanding the senate from 300 to 900 people. He included more plebeians voices in the senate.

Augustus created an alliance with Lepidus and Mark Antony aka the 2nd Triumvirate. Which meant he had more of the Roman provinces which meant he got more land. He also made himself get elected multiple times to make himself look like hes not becoming a dictator even though he is.

Caesar's assassins were concerned with preserving the republic as well as preserving their own power. These two goals go hand in hand because by keeping the government of the republic, they keep their high status as Patricians. However, they can't accomplish any of these goals after the death of Caesar.

They claimed they were saving the republic but since Ceaser favored plebs and took all the power for himself killing him was the only way to preserve their power.

The pax romana was a peace treaty that Augustus made and lasted for 200 years. The pax Romana ended following the death of Marcus Aurelius, but it mainly ended because of economic problems, the plague that spread over Rome, civil wars, and there weren't any good rulers that could stabilize Rome. These are also reasons for why the Roman empire fell apart but another main reason is because of the emperor Diocletian. The emperor Diocletian split the Roman empire into two halves; the western Roman empire and the Eastern roman empire. This turned out to be a bad move for Rome and caused the fall of Rome. Once the Roman empire was split in half Constantine was ruler of the Roman empire and Constantine moved the capitol of Rome to the eastern side and named it Constantinople. This made the eastern side better than the west and the east side of Rome was more wealthy because they were near all the main trade centers. Once the eastern Roman empire was more powerful than the western side, the barbarians noticed this and they attacked the western side of Rome and Rome was vulnerable to their attacks and they got defeated in battle. This is the main reason for why the Roman empire fell.
