Key Ideas- Rome Becomes an Empire
Caesar was originally Pompey’s ally in the First Triumvirate.
Caesar’s victory in Gaul gave him the political strength to
defeat Pompey.
Some members of the Roman Senate were worried about
Caesar’s growing power. As a result, they assassinated him.
Octavian, Caesar’s nephew, won the civil war that followed
Caesar’s death. He became Augustus, the emperor.

The empire was run in an orderly fashion. However,
the transfer of the role of emperor involved many
cruel acts.
