Disorder in the Roman Republic (16 h 36 m, 23 ene 79 año aC – 2 h 23 m, 6 ene 70 año aC)
Descripción:
Politicians and generals went to war to increase their power even as political order broke down in Rome. Some Romans tried to stop the chaos in Rome's government. One person was Cicero,a philosopher and gifted orator. In his speeches, Cicero called on upper class Romans to work together to make Rome a better place. One way to do this, he argued, was to limit the power of generals. Cicero wanted the Romans to give more support to the Senate and to restore checks and balances on government. But the government did no change. Many Romans did not agree with Cicero, others were to busy too listen. Meanwhile many generals were working to take over the government. The most powerful of these generals was Julius Caesar.
