Power shifts through military leadership, including Gaius Marius’ army reforms and Lucius Sulla’s dictatorial rule. The First Triumvirate—Pompey, Crassus, and Julius Caesar—temporarily stabilizes politics, but its end leads to civil war as Caesar crosses the Rubicon, defeats rivals, and later faces assassination. Civil war continues through the Second Triumvirate and culminates in the struggle between Octavian and Mark Antony, aided by Octavian’s eventual victory.",{"@graph":69,"@context":121},[70,84,104],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/civil-war-in-rome-and-the-end-of-the-roman-republic-overview/611234/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":98,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":99,"interactionStatistic":100},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/civil-war-in-rome-and-the-end-of-the-roman-republic-overview/611234.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Fahsai","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/octet-stream","2026-10-19",true,{"@type":101,"interactionType":102,"userInteractionCount":8},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":103},"ViewAction",{"@type":105,"mainEntity":106},"FAQPage",[107,113,117],{"name":108,"@type":109,"acceptedAnswer":110},"Why did military dictators come to power in Rome?","Question",{"text":111,"@type":112},"Constant fighting between rich and poor, unrest in the provinces, slave rebellions, and outside invasions created a demand for strong leadership.
