The Roman Republic came to an end: during the First Punic Wars, when the Etruscans were driven out of Rome, when Julius Caesar defeated Pompey the Great, or following the death of Julius Caesar?

The end of the Republic is generally seen as coming with the ascension of Julius Caesar. The word "Republic" remained part of the name of the government for some time after that, but when Caesar took office in AD 44, for all intents and purposes, the power wielded by the people through elected officials came to a halt.
