The Roman Republic followed the Roman Kingdom and preceded the Principate.
The Greek historian, Polybius highly recommended the political system of the Roman Republic:
"There can surely be nobody so petty or so apathetic in his outlook that he has no desire to discover by what means and under what system of government the Romans succeeded in less than fifty-five years in bringing under their rule almost the whole of the inhabited world". (Polybius 1.1, trans. Scott-Kilvert)
