And as pertains to the OP, Romans clearly did recognize the fall of the Republic and the ideological nature thereof.
I will certainly agree with that. The fact that men could compare a Nero or even a Vespasian to Republican heroes suggests that they knew that a shift had occurred and that the Republic in its traditional form was dead. I do wonder though why in 69 CE an attempt wasn't made then? Was it because there was always a Emperor on the throne,and so the Senate was never given the chance?
