Advantages And Disadvantages Of Rome

The Roman Republic was one of the most respected and powerful civilization of the ancient world. When it came to the purposes of government the Romans did very well.

When it came to providing public services, the Romans provided their citizens with many resources that helped them live their daily lives, and they did this while spending little to no money. One example of these resources is the aqueduct. Aqueducts were built to supply fresh water. These aqueducts were more advanced than any others that had been used before in history, made of pipes that run underground or through a lined trough. Eventually, the water that ran through these pipes would flow into a basin that fed the water to public baths, fountains, or a few places. Public

So, the Romans created a new form of government, called a democracy. In this form of government, the people vote for their own leaders. Every citizen could vote for a leader, but since the women, children, and slaves were not citizens, they could not vote. The Romans had three branches of government - the legislative assembly, the senate, and the consuls. The twelve tables were a large part of Roman rule of law.
