The characteristics that the Roman Empire and the Roman Republic shared are:

  • They expanded Roman territory through conquest.
  • They included the senate as a part of government.
  • They took a census to reform the tax system.

The statement "They invested all power in one supreme leader" does not apply to the Roman Republic, as it was characterized by a more complex system of governance with elected officials and shared power, whereas the Empire centralized power under emperors.
