What do you know about the Roman Republic invading Israel 63 B.C.

The Roman Republic was installed after the Roman kingdom was overthrown in 509 BC and lasted until 27BC. One of the most important figures of this period is Julius Caesar.

The Fasti consulares (documents with the names of the consuls or magistrates that described the main events of the period) are essential to understand the Roman Republic from 503 BC, from when they are considered credible.

Another very important method used to understand this period of Roman history is the ritual of the clavus annalis. This practise began one year after the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus was consecrated and it consisted in fixing a bronze nail to the right of the altar once a year. The first nail was placed in 508 BC. The temple of Jupiter Capitolinus had the cella of Jupiter, as well as the cella of Minerva and Juno.

The decade after 509 BC (the year when the last King of Rome was dethroned, while he was away from Rome) is a dark period and very little is known, only isolated events.
