Chapter 310 Rome Goes to a Republic
Then the republic of ancient Rome evolved again.

Originally, the king was in power to organize national work in name, but after the republic was implemented for more than ten years, the king system was also abolished.

Since we are going to go to the Republican era, we must completely abolish it from the root.

So after the ancient Rome abolished the king, it turned the ruling class into a common rule.

The bodies governing together are called the Senate and the Senate.

The highest executive elected by the Senate is called the executive officer, while the central and local governments have their own executive officers, and the local executive officers must obey the orders of the central executive officer, and the Senate is responsible for electing candidates and voting in the central government.

This is the so-called republic, because a group of people has the final say, but a spokesperson has to be elected, and this spokesperson is the consul.

In the beginning, there were two local consuls, one was in charge of military affairs and the other was in charge of internal affairs. However, in this kind of foreign war, Rome found that if the two sides had disputes, it would be difficult to mobilize local wars, so it was later changed to one administrative office with only one Administrator.

Although the system exists, the executive officer system has not been perfected at the beginning. The initial executive officer's ruling period is only one year, and when a war breaks out, he will be in power for a maximum of one and a half years.

The junior high school was originally designed for the fear that the executives of the Senate and the Senate would turn the army into their own private army if they were in power for a long time.

The private legion is contrary to the republican system.

That's why the ruling time is limited to one year.

But later such disadvantages were fully revealed.

One year, Rome was going to conquer the Mediterranean and North Africa. Due to the long distance, it took three months to go there by boat. In addition, it took time to prepare for the early stage and supply supplies in the later stage. As a result, halfway through the battle, the executive officer Already changed.

The strategy of the original executive officer was not inherited by the new executive officer, which eventually led to the defeat of ancient Rome, and with the excessive war in the territory, the army's journey became longer and longer. If the executive officer was allowed to be in power for a while years, it is very likely that these armies have not yet reached the conquest site, but have been recalled by the new executive.

So this is a very unfavorable factor for ancient Rome to continue to expand its territory, and since this system was designed, ancient Rome has not won as many battles as before.

The Senate and the Senate also saw the drawbacks of this system, so the members of the Senate and the Senate agreed to extend the term of the consul.

However, when it was implemented, it was obstructed by the local Senate and Senate of the Roman Empire. After all, these local senators had rights in the hands of them, and they were used to enjoying a comfortable life.

They don't want to change the current status quo, because it was almost impossible for them to live so comfortably during the previous monarchy period.

Because the monarch cannot sit back and watch the expansion of local power, and now the House of Elders and the Senate, whether they are central or local, have become the ruling class, not the king's courtiers.

If the consuls are allowed to prolong their ruling time, then the result will stand up and clean them up like the monarchy.

It's just that the consul at this time is not the monarch, but wants to do things for the entire country. Although the class enemies are different, as long as they touch their cakes, they will wholeheartedly obstruct them.

They have to live comfortably now and don't want to continue to change.

Although the consul in Rome has a lot of power in his hands, and he has only been in power for one year, in the eyes of normal people, this is not a good job, and there is no lucrative money to be taken. It is purely for the senators and the people of Rome.

But even so, there are still many people who are desperately fighting for this position.

After all, some people don't care about money, but only about reputation, and being a consul is the brightest jewel in Rome's crown.

More than that, the consuls do have real power in their hands.

Whether it is the local or the central governor, once they have power, they will help the family and even their own interests to earn the maximum benefit.

After all, the supervision system of the feudal society at that time was not as sound as it is now, and the supervision methods were not as developed as they are now, so becoming a consul is basically the same as the richest man in the local area.

Moreover, the consuls of Rome can run for election many times. Become a consul, but the premise is that a majority of people vote for it.

Of course, the supporters are not the people, but their supporters come from another institution, the Senate.

The Senate is now an institution for the promotion and selection of cadres. It has great power, and they also hold the legislative power of the country. Therefore, these wealthy and powerful Roman businessmen and even nobles want to make friends with the elders of the Senate.

In addition, apart from having money in his hands, the consul has another duty, which is to be in charge of team dispatch.

Although the Senate was responsible for the government affairs of ancient Rome, the Senate did not completely ignore the Roman Senate, and they still had the right to supervise.

Moreover, at that time, it was commonplace for you to come between the Senate and the Senate, and this kind of mutual supervision was often an extension of a relationship of mutual checks and balances.

Once one party is unbalanced, it is unacceptable for Rome. Therefore, when selecting consuls or even local officials, both the Senate and the Senate will carefully consider the candidates for the consuls.

Because apart from the Senate and the Senate, there is no third institution that can form a check and balance, so these two institutions can easily form a dominance situation.

Therefore, during the election process, the two departments sent staff to each other to help each other. The seemingly peaceful republican system actually had a hidden conspiracy underneath.

However, the republican balance did not last long. One person broke the apparent balance of ancient Rome, and that person was Hannibal.

Hannibal was not a traditional Roman, he was the consul of the conquered region of Catage.

But the Catalans did not willingly join the ruling team in Rome.

The relationship between Gathacia and Rome is more like an alliance than annexation.

Because in the Mediterranean region, it is this Gataji that can have a [-]-[-] strength with the Roman Empire.

The location of Gataiji is in the northeast of the Mediterranean Sea, and their territory can continue until the Alps are equal to their location.

The geographical relationship between the two countries is the same as that of the Huns. From the north, they can go straight to Rome, and the Huns can also go straight to the center of Qin Dynasty through the Great Wall.

Of course, Rome also knows that Gataiji is a dangerous factor for itself.

After all, the principle that no one else can sleep soundly on the side of the couch is universal in the world.

What's more, the Roman Empire is full of people.

The Senate and the Senate understand the truth, so it will definitely not be too long for Gataji to be able to stay in the north of Rome steadily.
