Understanding the Early Roman Republic
The Early Republic of Rome laid the foundation for the later hegemonic period of Roman dominance. The political system during the Early Republic was vastly different from that of the late Republic. The Roman Republic was defined as not a system of one-man rule, with names of offices appearing similar across periods but serving different functions. Texts on the early Republic were written centuries later, relying on scattered written sources, collective memories, and oral traditions. Actual Roman history writing did not begin until the end of the Second Punic War, around 200 BC, leading to debates among scholars on the extent of written records from earlier times.
