unreferenced date November 2007 Roman government The Principate 27 BC 284 AD is the first period of the Roman Empire , extending from the beginning of the reign of Caesar Augustus to the Crisis of the Third Century , after which it was replaced with the Dominate . The Principate is characterized by a concerted effort on the part of the Emperors to preserve the illusion of the formal continuance of the Roman Republic . Etymology It is etymologically derived from the Latin word princeps , meaning chief or first , the political regime dominated by such a political leader, whether or not he is formally head of state and or head of government . This reflects the Principate Emperors assertion that they were merely primus inter pares first among equals among the citizens of Rome. In practice, the Principate was a period of enlightened absolutism , with occasional forays into quasi constitutional monarchy Emperors tended not to flaunt their power and usually respected the rights of citizens although they never let this fact bind them . History The title, in full, princeps senatus princeps civitatis first amongst the senators, viz. , amongst the citizens , was first adopted by Augustus Octavian ... as the Dominate , which is subjectively more like an absolute monarchy while the earlier Principate is still more Republican .

The Marian Roman army refers to the armed forces deployed by the late Roman Republic between the Marian reforms 107 BC and the establishment of the Roman Principate early Roman Empire by Augustus in 30 BC. ref name example The name Caesarian Roman Army had previously been used in this article, reflecting the fact that the most famous Roman military leader, Julius Caesar Gaius Julius Caesar , commanded an army of this kind. However, the structure of the Roman army during the period 107 30 BC was by and large created by Gaius Marius when Caesar has not yet been born. ref The Marian army constitutes the transition from the Manipular Roman army ca. 300 107 BC , which was a temporary force based on adult male conscription of citizens to the Imperial Roman army of the Principate, which was a standing, professional force based mainly on volunteer recruitment. The creation of this new kind of army was a response to grave challenges posed by Germanic invasions and the war against Jugurtha which severely taxed the older Roman military organization. Indeed, as a purely military tool the Marian army turned out to be more than equal to its tasks. However, gradually, it became clear that the new army was in the final analysis loyal not to the Republic but to its commander, to whom the troops ultimately looked for rewards and spoils. Gaius Marius Marius himself had effectively abolished the allied legions. They were formally abolished after the end of the Social War, when Roman citizenship was granted to all of Rome s Italian socii , ending the dual structure of legions alongside non citizen Ala Roman allied military unit alae . The latter were abolished, and the Italian allies were henceforth recruited into the legions. The non Italian allies that had long fought for Rome e.g. Gallic and Numidian cavalry continued to serve alongside the legions but remained irregular units under their own leaders.

The alabarch was the Greek language Greek title of the customs official at the harbour of Alexandria during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The title alabarch needs to be distinguished from the title of ethnarch which refers to the chief magistrate of a particular ethnic group within a city or territory.
