The founding of the Roman Empire conceivably took place in the period 31 B.C. to 14 A.D. This period is marked by the ascension of Augustus Caesar to the throne in 31 B.C. at the end of the civil war for control of the Roman Republic and the death of Caesar’s last remaining rivals, Mark Antony and Cleopatra. It ends with the death of Augustus in 14 A.D. by which time all popular elections had been abandoned.[1]
