I spoke without preparation, so there are some parts that I spoke incorrectly. Additional explanation 1. When explaining Octavianus, I said that he divided Rome into four parts, which was simply to say that there were several powerful governors in Rome, and the three most powerful of them shared the power and formed a triumvirate. 2. Magna Carta (Great Charter) not only dealt with tax issues, but also contained provisions to prevent the British king from infringing on the rights of the British feudal nobles. 3. Roman law was codified during the Roman Republic, and later, it was not the Five Good Emperors, but the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian who reorganized the law code once again. 4. Rome's power was structured around a two-person consul (consul), a senate of several hundred people, an army, and a popular assembly of citizens from each town who kept each other in check. Of course, the power of the Senate, which advised the consuls and managed the national treasury, was stronger. This power of the Senate was taken away by Caesar, so he killed them. 5. Originally, the term of office of a dictator was only 6 months, and was like a martial law commander in modern terms, but after Caesar became a dictator, he abolished the term and made it a lifetime position. 6. It was Constantine who moved the capital of Rome to Constantinople. He developed a town called Byzantium in the Eastern Roman region and changed its name to Constantinople, and later moved it to the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. After that, it was also called the Byzantine Empire after the name of the town of Byzantium. Edit, Thumbnail: Nick
