"The Roman Republic (Latin: Res publica Romana; Classical Latin: [ˈreːs ˈpuːb.lɪ.ka roːˈmaː.na]) was the period of ancient Roman civilization beginning with the overthrow of the Roman Kingdom, traditionally dated to 509 BC, and ending in 27 BC with the establishment of the Roman Empire."
Learn the difference between convenient ex post catagorization and contemporary official positions before attempting to rebut.
The form and facade of the Roman republic was maintained during all of the early and middle empire. The republic was never dissolved, and no transition from the republic ever acknowledged by the Roman state. Formally Roman republic continued to exist until well after the western empire is generally acknowledged to have fallen in 476 AD. The notion that the republic ended with the foundation of Augustinian principate is an ex post catagorization by near contemporary malcontents and later historians.
