151. That is 'the beginning of the end' - not the end.
Rome was more powerful than ever when they eliminated the Consuls and elected a dictator. But that was the beginning of the end which culminated in the elimination of the republic and the start of the empire.

And for most citizens I'm sure it felt like business as usual.

One day you will look around and wonder where your country went.

Most republics are born of revolution, but they don't die of revolution. If you are looking for a revolution against the republic you will not see the republic die.
