It seems like the late Roman Republic was in a constant state of civil war for a long time up to Augustus becoming emperor. I find it surprising in that context the Republic didn't face more significant external opportunistic pressure or attacks, either from the Parthians, European tribes, or someone else. Why didn't they?
