expansion, and conflict between the different forms of state across time. Focusing on one of the dominant powers of the classical period, the Romans, one can see a change in political structure as the Roman Republic turned into the Roman Empire (Wiseman). Before Rome became an empire, Rome was a republic from 507 to 31 BCE. Power resided in the Assembly and the Senate.
