Key Takeaway: When historians refer to the “Roman Republic,” they are referring to the phase of ancient Roman civilization in which a republican form of government reigned in the city. This began in 509 BCE and lasted nearly 450 years until a period of civil wars led the republic into an Imperial period ruled by the offspring of Gaius Julius Caesar.
