Changes

While the empire was split between Anthony and Octavian, Octavian became the center of power in the Roman Empire. He was an effective ruler and did not repeat Casaer's mistakes. He created an imperial system while observing the outward form of the Republican system. As a result, he faced little opposition, even though he ended the Republic and crowned himself Emperor. The Imperial system created by Octavian lasted until 476 AD.
