What is a republic, and
when, how, and why did Rome turn into one?
A republic, a “Public thing” is where problems are a discussed by the public
and not just by the rulers. In a republic officials openly elected in to office and often had a written and published law.
Rome became a republic in 509bc. This happened Sextus, Superbus’s son, raped
Lucretia. Lucretia was so ashamed that she committed suicide shorty after he raped her. Lucretias friends
and family got an army together to get Superbus and Sextus out of Rome. Superbus fled Rome and survived, but Sextus was
killed on his way to another city. Brutus and Collatinus were elected as the
first two consuls of Rome
