Within this period the Roman world was reconfigured. On a political and constitutional level the patterns of the republic, which sustained an oligarchic regime and a popularist structure, were transformed into a monarchical dictatorship in which the earlier elements continued to function. On an imperial level, the growth in Roman power reached what was virtually its apogee. In literature and the visual arts, new forms of expression, based on those of the previous generations but closely linked to the new regime, showed great achievements. In society and the economy, the effectiveness and dominance of Rome as the centre of world power became increasingly obvious.EmperorsRomeBiographyRomePolitics and government30 B.C.-68 A.DRomeHistoryAugustus, 30 B.C.-14 A.DEmperors937.07092Richardson John1946-1542094MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790246903321Augustan Rome 44 BC to AD 143794552UNINA
