Rome fought _________________ wars with Carthage, called the _____________________________________ - from Punicus, the Roman word for Phoenician. During the First Punic War, 264 B.C.E. – 241 B.C.E., Rome gained control of the island of _________________________, and it became Rome’s first _______________________, or self-governing region. Rome continued to be victorious during the Second and Third Punic Wars. It divided its new lands into self-governing regions, forced the conquered people to pay __________________, and many were taken as _____________________. Some Roman plebeians lost their jobs because the slaves replaced them as free labor. ___________________________ arose between the Romans who were rich and those who were poor. ~ Change Is Coming Leaders struggled for power, which led to a series of ______________________________. For three years, a dictator named _________________________ had control until 79 B.C.E. Then leadership returned to the consuls. ________________________________ was elected consul in 60 BC. Caesar and his army were popular with the Roman citizens. Caesar showed he was a strong leader, and he was made ________________________. Caesar made many changes for the Roman Empire, including changing the Senate so it better represented the people, creating jobs, giving citizenship to more people, and helping the poor. Some senators feared That Caesar was planning in becoming king, so they plotted his death. Caesar was killed by a small group of senators on March 15, 44BC. This is known as _______________________________________ on the Roman Calendar. His death led to a time of unrest in Rome. ~ End of an Era ________________________________________, a general in the Roman army, became Rome’s new leader. Then Octavian, a relative of Caesar challenged his rule. In 43 B.C.E., Octavian, Anthony, and another general named Lepidus agreed to form a _______________________________, or group of three rulers who share power. These three leaders struggled with one another for power, and civil wars broke out. Eventually, Octavian, Caesar’s great-nephew, defeated the others at the Battle of Actium. In 27 B.C.E.. the Roman senate gave Octavian the title _________________________, which means “respected one” or “holy one.” and began his rule of Rome. This was the end of the Republic. Augustus was Rome’s first emperor, but he never used this title. Instead, he adopted the title ___________________________, meaning “first citizen”. The Roman Republic ended when Augustus’s rule began.
