Augustus changed the government of Rome primarily by taking away most powers of the Senate. He established a system that maintained the facade of the republic while gaining significant control for himself, effectively marking the transition from a republic to an empire. While he did respect some traditions of the republic, his consolidation of power diminished the Senate's authority.
