Many people consider the ancient city State of Athens to have had the oldest republic as a form of government. The Roman Empire was until Augustus became Emperor also a republic. The oldest republics can therefor be said to originate in Italy and Greece.

The oldest 'modern' republics (that moreover still exist as such) are Iceland and San Marino.
