Well- Julius Caesar tried to end the Republic. It did not go well for him or the following coalition triumvirate which went to civil war (Pompey and the elite vs. Caesar’s adopted son Octavian, and Agrippa). Did not go well for any of them, Brutus, Cassius and Pompey— because of the power of the wheat supplier to Rome— Egypt.
