How did Ancient Rome have a long life span?
Why did the civilization of Ancient Rome have a long life span?
Rome didn't have a particularly long life span. The Roman Empire, as we know it, lasted only about 400 years, if that long. The Egyptian Empire lasted several thousand years.
I didn't check the dates, but that's close. That being said, most governments last less than 200 years, which is why we consider the Romans to be long-lived.
The real answer to your question is assimilation. When Romans conquered a people, they made them Roman citizens and incorporated them into the army. They also gave the local people all of the benefits of Roman citizenry, such as aqueducts, amphitheaters, roads, baths, trade, protection, and republican government (form of self-rule). This made for loyal subjects rather than an insurgent populous. Much easier to rule willing captives than disenchanted rabble.
