Including and in addition to Roman civilization (if that's a personal favorite) what are your 3 or even 4 personal favorite civilizations – be it any real life ones (from any period in earth history), or any fictional past or future made up civilizations (created in any admired graphic novels or fiction books) and please say why you admire each one, for each favorite civilization named.
