2nd century BC Roman Kings!!! Anyone even with a very little information of Roman history knows that Rome was a proud republic for more than six hundred years till Julius Gaius Ceaser became the lifetime dictator in the first century BC. In fact, even Augustua/Octavius/Octavian Gaius Ceaser's grand nephew and posthumously adopted son never called himself the emperor and maintained the outward trappings of the Roman Republic and Roman Senate.
