Ancient Rome, a settlement on the River Tiber in central Italy, founded in 753 BC, was ruled for 244 years by a monarchical system.[36] In 509 BC, the Romans, favouring a government of the Senate and the People (SPQR), expelled the monarchy and established an oligarchic republic.[37]
Middle Ages
Main article: Italy in the Middle Ages After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Italy fell under the Odoacer’s kingdom, and was seized by the Ostrogoths.[42] Invasions resulted in a chaotic succession of kingdoms and the supposed “Dark Ages”. The invasion of another Germanic tribe in the 6th century, the Lombards, reduced Byzantine presence and ended political unity of the peninsula. The north formed the Lombard kingdom, central-south was also controlled by the Lombards, and other parts remained Byzantine.[43]
