Similar to the idea of a commonwealth. Deceptive term, rome was always an empire. Historians say that starting here, rome had an emperor. They had a commander as opposed to everyone being equal. In contrast to greece, rome is a great place to build a colony, due to the great amount of natural resources. The low lands are good to grow grain.
