Roman Republic (18th century)

See also ancient Roman Republic and Roman Republic (19th century).
Flag of the Roman Republic
On 7 March 1798, under the rule of the French Directoire, French forces invaded the Papal States and established a new Roman Republic, partly in revenge for the murder of French general Mathurin-Léonard Duphot the previous year.

Pope Pius VI was exiled to France and died there in 1799. In 1799 the Tiberina Republic, with capital Perugia, was united to the Roman Republic.

The Roman Republic was short-lived, as the Papal States were restored in June of 1800.

The Roman Republic flag was a vertical tricolour black-white-red, taken from the French tricolour, as granted by Napoleon.
