Had people to protect poor people’s rights
Roman literature has advanced a lot they
Used to give good education to rich families
Now education is fair
Romans have more knowledge and more to teach
Roman technology advanced a lot over time
Good because if they still writing on wax tablets can not call families
Also isolated

In countries rulers were selfish which wasn't very fair to people living there. It wouldn't be fair to everybody else in the world if there leaders were selfish or unfair.
Rome relied on France and Spain to buy/trade their supplies/aid. Spain and France relied on Rome for food like; corn, beef, and olives, which is an example of how countries rely on each other to survive.
