The Roman Republic was established after the overthrow of the monarchy. The Senate, composed of aristocratic elders, became the most powerful political body, gaining influence over lawmaking, military affairs, and executive appointments. Citizens were divided between the ruling patrician class and the majority plebeian commoners, who struggled for civil rights and political representation. The Republic established several branches of government, including consuls as executive leaders and commanders-in-chief, tribunes elected to advocate for plebeians, and assemblies for legislation. Over time, the Republic developed a complex system of elected offices and laws that impacted the governance of Rome and modern democratic societies.

Background of Roman Legal Principles: Roman history
Rome was founded in central western Italy on the left bank of the River Tiber in an area of fertile volcanic soil inhabited by the Latins tribe. It later grew to become the capital city of the Roman Empire, spanning the Regal, Republican and Imperial periods from 753 BC to 565 AD. The basic social and political structures during the early Regal period consisted of patriarchal families organized into clans (gentes) and tribes, with the king as the head of state advised by a council of nobles (Senate).
Session no. 2, 2011, Roman Government, by Joe
Roman government transitioned from a monarchy to a republic to an empire over centuries. The republic had consuls and praetors as chief magistrates and a senate of 900 members that held significant power. The republic used various assemblies (comitia) to pass laws and elect officials. As an empire, Rome kept much of this structure but consolidated more power in the emperor and senate. The empire divided its provinces into senatorial and imperial types based on stability and military needs, each with their own governors and administrative councils.

The Roman Republic had a government structure comprised of several bodies and roles. The Roman Senate was the highest political body made up of patricians, or aristocrats, who had previously held executive office. There was conflict between the patrician ruling class and the majority plebeian commoners. Consuls served as the chief executives and military commanders, though these roles were usually held by patricians. Other roles included tribunes who protected plebeian rights, censors who conducted the census, and praetors who ranked below consuls. Over time, reforms increased plebeian participation through assemblies and officials they could elect.

A shepherd found the twins in the bushes near the Tiber river. Suckled by a wolf one of the twins would be killed by his brother who would build the most magnificent nation ever known. Romulas and Remus as the children were called, both wanted to build a new city. Romulus would create a truly unique civilization that confounds people even today. The city would become an empire to never be forgotten. Today, we still look back, and we see the legendary nation of Rome.

Roman Lesson 6 - Politics part 1
The plebeians were upset because they lacked political rights under the patrician-dominated government. They were able to make change by organizing and conducting strikes, during which they would withdraw their labor from Rome.

Power was divided between the patrician Senate who controlled the state budget and foreign affairs, and the plebeian citizens who elected tribunes to represent their interests and veto decisions against them.
Roman world
The document provides an overview of Mediterranean society during the Roman phase, from the rise of the Etruscans and establishment of the Roman Republic through the transition to the Roman Empire. Key events and developments discussed include the overthrow of the last Etruscan king and founding of the Roman Republic in 509 BCE, the establishment of republican institutions like the senate and consuls, the Punic Wars with Carthage culminating in Rome's victory in 146 BCE, the transition from republic to empire under figures like Caesar and Augustus, the establishment of Pax Romana under the emperors, and the rise of Christianity as the empire's official religion under Constantine.
Goverment assignment,,,,tristan
The Roman Republic was initially ruled by two annually elected consuls who shared executive power. The Senate, composed of noble families, acted as lawmakers and advisors. The Assembly, made up of plebeian citizens, could vote on laws but had limited power. This system established principles of representative government and separation of powers. However, the Republic gradually moved towards dictatorship under Sulla and then a triumvirate formed by Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus dominated politics. After the deaths of Sulla and Crassus, the rivalry between Caesar and Pompey led to civil war, from which Caesar emerged as dictator with imperial power, ending the Republic.
Early inspirations for american government
Early American government was inspired by ancient Greek democracy, the Roman Republic, and English constitutionalism. Athenian democracy lasted over 100 years and involved all free adult males voting directly on laws. However, it had flaws like the wealthy swaying public opinion. The Roman Republic used a representative system with elected senators and assemblies making laws. It failed when military leaders gained too much power. England developed constitutionalism after its civil war, limiting royal power and establishing parliament's right to tax and petition the king. These systems influenced America's founding fathers.

From Republic to Empire.df
Athens practiced direct democracy where all citizens voted directly on laws and decisions. The Council of 500 handled day-to-day governance. Rome began as a republic with elected consuls and senators governing, though only patricians could hold office initially. Over time, plebeians gained representation. Rome transitioned to an empire when Julius Caesar took control of the military and Senate, becoming emperor and establishing autocratic rule, though some emperors proved better than others.
Rome
The Roman Republic was governed by elected representatives and a president rather than a king. The Senate, comprised of patricians and plebeians, discussed and passed laws. There was conflict between the aristocratic patricians and common plebeians over civil rights. Consuls were the two annually elected chief magistrates who shared power, while dictators were appointed by the senate during emergencies and had absolute power. Tribunes protected plebeians from patrician magistrates, and the Assembly of the Plebs allowed plebeians to get involved in government. The government had executive, legislative, and judiciary branches that administered laws, taxes, and courts.
Hist140 ning1
Roman laws were created to provide rights to citizens and establish a social and political structure. They aimed to promote ethical principles across the empire. The first Roman laws, the Twelve Tables from 451-450 BC, gave citizens legal identity and protection under the law. Later, during Justinian's rule, the Twelve Tables were compiled into four volumes called the Codex, Digest, Pandect, and Institutions in an attempt to consolidate authority, but they still required much interpretation.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
