The Tarquin Monarchy ruled the city of Rome in the waning years of the Roman Kingdom. The rulers of the Tarquin Monarchy were in power before the rise of the Roman Republic in 507 BCE. Also, due to their great antiquity, they are somewhat legendary figures whose lives cannot be reliably confirmed.

The Samnite War was one of the many wars fought by the Roman Republic in the fourth and third centuries BCE for control over the Italian peninsula. Like the Latin War and the Pyrrhic War, the Samnite War ended in victory for the Roman Republic and the growth of Roman territory on the Italian peninsula.

Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BCE, in open opposition of the Senate, and by doing so essentially declared war on them, so he would be the best choice. Augustus Caesar was Julius's adopted son, and while he was a general in his own right he did not cross the Rubicon in a famous manner, so he would not be a good choice. Marc Antony was an ally and then an enemy of Augustus, but he did not cross the Rubicon with Julius, so he too would not be a good choice. Romulus is the mythological founder of Rome and Remus is his brother, so neither of them would be good choices.

The First Triumvirate was an infamous unofficial alliance between Julius Caesar, Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great), and Marcus Crassus.

It lasted from roughly 59 BCE to 53 BCE and ended with the death of Marcus Crassus at the hands of the Parthians.

Following Marcus Crassus' death, Julius Caesar and Pompey would go on to fight a civil war with each other, ultimately ending in Pompey's death and firmly establishing Julius Caesar's role as dictator for life.

The Battle of Carrhae was fought in 53 BCE between the forces of the Roman Republic (led by Marcus Crassus) and the forces of the Parthian Empire. The battle ended in defeat for the Roman armies and witnessed the death of Marcus Crassus. Crassus had been one of the members of the First Triumvirate, along with Caesar and Pompey, and the wealthiest man in Rome.

Cincinnatus was a consul of Rome during the era of the Roman Republic. He also served as temporary dictator during a time of great crisis. He led the defense of the city of Rome against invading “barbarians,” and, for voluntarily surrendering his absolute authority, he is often regarded as an example of honor and civic virtue.

By far the most significant military action of the Flavian dynasty was Titus' siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The siege was bloody, and near genocidal in nature, but was considered a major victory for the Empire at the time, and was by far the largest military action of the Dynasty, in terms of man-power and scale.
