How was the Roman Empire Founded?

Hello History lovers, Welcome back to the Blog!!!! Let's start our Journey!!!


  Now the Roman Empire didn't happen until 27 B.C. Before that, years of war and Julius Caesar. Julius is the man involved with Cleopatra who was stabbed by the Senate on the steps(How tragic). Once 27 B.C came, the Senate and the People voted Octavian(later known as Augustus) thus beginning the Principate( first epoch of Roman Imperial History). Augustus has much success but his heirs were more successful. Augustus' blood related family did not succeed in ruling, they all died before him. So his stepson Tiberius ruled after him. This created the Julio -Claudian Dynasty. In the Roman Empire, Christianity was not the religion until A.D 380. Yes Christianity did exist but you were killed if it was known that you were a christian. The religion at that time was Imperial Cult-Driven Polytheism. Think about gods and goddess and sacrifices to please the gods.
