I won’t argue this because we will take away from the post. Augustus was a boss but he also knew how to keep the Senate happy by making them feel important. He kept a facade of a Republic going but he was doing it for appearances.
Rome was sacked by people from the border whose relatives were offed big time by Julius Caesar. The Visigoths are our Mexico/Central America. And there were plenty of them living within Rome as mercenaries.
After Marcus Aurelius, Rome began a series of inept/crazy/hoarding/villainous emperors. Caligula is Joe Biden. Crazy and demented with odd peculiarities. Although not certain Caligula was a puppet.
