Why Did the Ancient Romans Betray Each Other?

Betrayal is when someone you trust does something bad to you. In ancient Rome, people often betrayed each other because they wanted more power or money. Imagine being in a group of friends who all want to be the leader, if one person betrays another, they might get the chance to lead instead. This happened a lot in Roman history!
