The Romans weren't democratic. Saying what the other cultures in the Roma's time did will not prove that they were. The Romans were a republic, though one not of the people. So not a democracy. If you want an example of a democracy look no further than the Greek States. In some Greek city-states even women were aloud to vote(Sparta). They were democratic, the Romans were not.

Besides I never said the Romans weren't advanced and cultured. As evidence by all their accomplishments. I just said that Zipper and the others were wrong in saying it was a democracy.
