Answer:
They had a surplus of food, they divided labor and built cities.
After the development of the irrigation systems, they could grow more wheat and that meant more food for the growth of the population.
They divided labor between themselves. Who will harvest crops, who will tend to the irrigation systems, who will tend to fields. They had a lot of other workers such as carpenters or soldiers and that means that they knew how to divide labor between the population.
They started to build cities so they could work together, trade, store food, and the cities grew as more and more people came to live there.
They were all afraid of irritating people (who vote). Since people (who vote) decided their unavoidable future, they didn't want to take any strong stances on anything and just went with the flow and played the tune that the people wanted to hear. They needed to stay in power and not lose it for taking a serious stance.........
I think Rome to Athens is incorrect. According to my research, Massilia to Carthage is the route that involves trade outside of the Byzantine Empire.The Byzantine Empire was also known as the Eastern Roman Empire. Its capital city was Constantinople. The routes Rome to Athens, Alexandra to Ravenna and Antioch to Ephesus all fall within the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire was the most powerful empire during its existence and survive the breaking up and fall of the Western Roman Empire.

The simple answer to your complex question is NO. This is assuming that you live in a country where there are good laws (remember that history is full of bad governments that implemented bad laws) and that law enforcement is effective. Simplisticly, you should only ask yourself this question when your or your families life is being threatened and law enforcement is not around. Your response must still be within the constraints of your laws or you will find yourself in hot water. I'm not even going to try to discuss the ethics and morals that can apply as the situation can vary immensely. Keep it simple - don't operate outside the law, rather fight against unjust laws.
