I don't really know enough to say anything so I won't say anything

Okay, cheers for the bump though, i'm currently listening the the history of rome podcast, so i was wondering if the Dictatorial rule had a solid grip on power (at least in terms of what governmental system rome had) or was challenged by the patricians, who obviously would have a lot to gain via the republic.

I don't really know anything of the topic, so I won't post anything

After Caligula was assassinated.

Tiberius and Claudius all promised to return power to the Senate, but they changed their minds.
The Senate was going to take power after Nero's death, but then Galba and his army showed up and they let him do what he wanted.
After that it was a military despotism.

Yep, that battle really showed Tiberius is the most powerful man who ever lived

Better question: why was the cap used by iranics associated with republicanism when Persia was the archetypical ancient despotic monarchy?

>that article

Well, it was associated with the french revolution, but i haven't the foggiest on why the french would wear them.
