I think the best Rome was during and just after Augustus's rule.

I quite like Claudius, but Augustus was pretty damn awesome.


I recommend everyone in this thread to read Lives Of The Twelve Caesars.

I agree with OP. Rome steadily grew in power while it was a republic. When they proclaimed Julius Caesar emperor, they had a brief spurt of growth under Caesar, then started a long, slow decline that lasted centuries. Had they remained a republic, Rome might have survived until present day.
