Tell you what. You try to state clearly what you’re trying to say, or what you think I’m trying to say, and I’ll be glad to respond to it.

For several centuries Rome was an aristocratic republic, with varying elements of democracy, and increasing elements of warlordism and corruption. By 23 BC Rome no longer had a genuinely republican form of government of any variety, aristocratic or otherwise.
