The Romans began a republic which had a 2 consuls, a senate, assemblies, and officials. The consuls were similar to modern day presidents but stayed in office for only a year. The Senate led religious events and foreign policy. It also was in control of the revenue. Roman senate consisted of the wealthy men. The assemblies were created so the people other than the wealthy could have their say in the government. However the people in the assemblies had to be full citizen males, meaning no foreigners or slaves. Roman republic officials did have decent authority but there laws were made to ensure they did not get too much power, leaving more of it to the wealthy. Rome was also centralized, because of its location and saw many migrations and invasions, from Po River people and those in Sicily. At 44 B.C. Rome became an empire, led by an emperor, with senators, advisers, and of course the massive army. Over time, the Roman army became more and more powerful.

Commencing in 121 BC the Roman republic initiated a conquest of the province of Gaul, which was completed in 52BC during Julius Caesar’s time as consul. After this takeover, roman culture spread rapidly within Gaul. Due to a combination of both the Gauls willingness to embrace roman culture and the Romans notorious ability to assume conquered peoples as roman citizens, the Gauls took up an extremely large part of Roman culture into their own, to the point where it can be argued roman culture was prevalent. Following the decisive battle of Alesia in 52BC, the Roman were able to extend their influence over the whole of Gaul, whereas before Rome only had a minor influence as a few citizens were settled in the south of the province.
