Ancient Rome began as villages along the Tiber River in Italy that united in 750 BC to form the city of Rome.

River civilizations first emerged around 3000 BC along major rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia, the Nile in Egypt, the Indus in India, and the Yangtze in China. The flooding of these rivers provided fertile land for agriculture, allowing large populations to live in urban societies ruled by powerful kings. Writing was developed around 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia to record taxes, trade, and other administrative information, and it later was used to write religious texts, laws, science, and stories. Early forms of writing included cuneiform script in Mesopotamia using wedge-shaped symbols pressed into clay tablets, and hieroglyphic script in Egypt
The Roman Republic Briefly
The Roman Republic was established in 509 BCE after the overthrow of the Etruscan monarchy, organizing the government into a combination of aristocracy, oligarchy, and democracy with citizens electing consuls and a senate to advise them. Society was divided between the wealthy patrician class and the plebeian majority, who engaged in occasional strikes to gain more political power. The republican government structure consisted of two annually elected consuls, the senate which controlled finances and foreign policy, and plebeian tribunes who could veto consular decisions and advocate for the common people.
