In ancient Rome, democracy did not in fact ever get started. After an initial period of rule by kings, Rome was governed as a republic, that is, with a division of power among both elites and the common folk, where the majority of social, political, and military decisions were made by a relatively small group of appointed officials who ruled for limited terms. Similar but not identical to democracy, the Roman Republic ended in the first century B.C.E. with its transformation into an empire.

Because They knew about the Greek direct democracy, but they changed it to a representative democracy, which is when they elect one person or a small group of people to make the rules and laws for them.

The government of ancient Rome started right with the foundation of the city in 753 BC. Its foundation does not refer to the building of a city. It refers to the foundation of the Roman city-state through the unification of separate settlements on what were to become the Seven Hills of Rome under the rule of Romulus, Rome's founder and its first king. Rome had a monarchy for 244 years, a republic for 582 years and rule by emperors for 509 years.
