I haven't seen much threads about the Roman Republic on these forums, so I decided to make this; find a way to make the Roman Republic Last until modern times.
I'd prefer having a date equal to or before Gaius Gracchus' assassination (121 BC), but dates after are acceptable.
Radical reforms can take place, but Rome can't simply get rid of the Senate, or Consuls. For example, you can raise the assembly (Pleb Senate) and give it the same power as the Senate; but you can't completely scrap everything.
As a side question: With the Roman Republic; would ideas spread/pop up much easier than in the Empire? Suppose Hero's Steam Engine was invested in from by the Roman state? Could Hero attach it a small sailboat with motors, inventing the first motor-ship? Other examples could be followed with Galen, or Ptolemy. Or things such as Flexible Glass.
