The Roman Empire was founded by Octavian following the assassination of uncle, Gaius Julius Caesar by the Assassin Marcus Junius Brutus,[1] and the resulting civil wars that led to the collapse the Republic.[2] The government of the Roman Empire, the Senātus Populusque Rōmānus (SPQR), was heavily manipulated by the Templar Order throughout its existence.[1] The Templars supported and influenced the Roman Emperor Caligula,[3] until his assassination by the Assassin Leonius in 41 CE.[1]
The Empire in the West eventually collapsed, but was succeeded by Charlemagne's Frankish - later "Holy Roman" - Empire, whilst in the East it continued to thrive as the Byzantine Empire, until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453.[4]
