Document Summary
Based on the definition given in our course textbook, a civilization is a. Complex culture in which large numbers of people share a variety of common elements (duiker and spielvogel, 7). A culture must have all of these elements to be considered a civilization, and this is why i believe that rome in my opinion deserves to be called a civilization. Rome deserves to be called a civilization because it has all the main elements present within its culture such as its large urban cities, developed writing systems and a dominant political/military structure, just to name a few of them. These important elements will all be discussed in further detail in the upcoming paragraphs. Rome"s political/military structure had transitioned from a monarchy to a republic governmental system after the overthrow of the leader at the time by the nobles. Throughout rome"s colonization over italy, the romans had developed efficient policies to maintain control over their population.
