The ancient Romans contributed two important concepts to politics: citizenship and written laws. Written laws make it easier for everyone to know what kind of behavior is allowed, and make it more difficult for the authorities to randomly punish people. Citizenship creates a category of people who can expect special rights and privileges in return for the performance of certain duties.

The Romans did not contribute 'citizenship' to the world; that concept was developed by the Greek city-states. Written laws were first developed by Iraqi king Hammurabi centuries earlier. The Romans refined both of the ideas further, plus developed the concept of sending families, merchants, and shopkeepers to 'Romanize' the areas they conquered. One of Rome's major accomplishment was road-building and aquaducts; these seemingly boring building projects helped boost trade within the Roman Empire, bringing a healthy economy and profitability to Rome and it's citizens .
