I recently finished Ancient Rome by Thomas Martin, and in the book he claimed that even after the rule of Augustus and the foundation of the Empire, the citizens of Rome continued to call it and consider it a continuation of the Republic, and that the separation between the two is more a modern invention.

But now I'm wondering, if this is true and the citizens continued to call their state a Republic, just when did they abandon the concept, or recognize that their form of government had irrevocably changed?
