Empire.
It put an end to the destructive conflict of over a century and half of civil wars, secetarian violence and conflicts, rampant corruption of the patricians and Senate, etc...

I like Tiberius and Domitian. They were ruthless, sure, but they were competent stewards. However, the senatorial ranks wrote the books, and they portrayed those they hated in a very bad manner.
You can argue that he wasn't the best, but you can't deny that he was the last great Roman Emperor

>Republic or Empire?
Expansionist era Republic, then Julio- Claudian until Marcus Aurelius Empire.
The second Punic War was Rome at its finest.
The decline began around Aurelius' time and continued despite reforms for centuries. Not sure if it were Caracalla or Diocletian who truly ended it.

He was the only actual Emperor, not just an impotent fool, a puppet Master, a madman or a hollow pretender.

The republic was a bloated mess. Evolution to an empire was inevitable.
>>3186682
Augustus
Empire
Standard answer desu
>>3186682
Nero
Republic
I turned my answer into a picture
I'm surprised no one mentioned him yet.
>>3186682
Hadrian. He had all the prestige of Trajan but the pragmatism to pull back from useless conquests in the mid-east.
