Caesarism

Roman Imperialism is an authoritarian, nationalist, economically right wing ideology. Rome gained wealth through trade and conquest, it would conquer a land, take slaves, and sell the goods made by the slaves. Rome would create a national identity with citizenship, public spaces, and roads. Instead of taxation, Rome would use wealth from conquered lands to pay for necessitates. Much like Mercantilism it proved a unity between capitalism and authoritarianism, through using private contractors to build things like aqueducts. Rome would inspire fascism, and many European monarchies
