Soon after he made himself absolute dictator, calling himself the Fuhrer which means "Leader". By the end of the 30's he was already sending Jews off too concentration camps to meet a horrible death.

So even when the chariots weren’t there, the people were. Another very chaotic place was the Argiletum. This is the most known shopping center in the empire. Most Romans didn’t own land.
