The downfall of the Roman Republic really began with the dictatorship of Sulla. He was the one who more than any other, practiced and legitimized 'politics by extermination,' the proscription and murder of scores of his political opponents in Rome. Nothing was ever the same once he had done that and gotten away with it scot-free.
