Roman Republicanism is a democratic system of government used by the Roman Republic prior to its succession by the Roman Empire. Otherwise, it was frequently authoritarian and right-wing economically.
History
Roman Republicanism was created in 509 BC when Lucius Junius Brutus overthrew the previous Roman Kingdom. He would begin to outline a system of government focusing on Democracy.
Over the next centuries, the Roman Republic began to spread, conquering Italy, Carthage, and eventually even Greece. With this expansion came a more class-based system, splitting the society into Patricians (those of well-to-do families) and Plebs (citizens of other families). This was not based on economics, but rather solely on heritage. Consuls, the head of the government, would frequently be of major families such as the Horatii, Lucretii, Verginii and Menenii.
In the last century of Roman Republicanism, the Republic split into the 
Populares Faction and the the more 
Conservative Optimates Faction. This led up to a civil war, and the descent of the Republic into 
Roman Imperialism.
The Roman Republic continued to inspire many political philosophers in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, including Machiavelli. Many modern democratic systems take inspiration from Rome, even the name of a Republic.
Stylistic Notes
Roman Republicanism does not act like his son, with the exception of their shared militarism, and fervently denounces monarchies.
He also is rather snobby to "lower class ideologies" on the Left-Wing. He also will boss around other democratic governments, and will frequently be very philosophical.
