Data-graph





Conclusion: though Roman Alphabet development begins at 85%, Early Roman civilization begins at 41% with the full alphabet LAIUS (a female ancient greek name Lais its closest variant offering the name of the most likely mother of Roman civilization rather than Romulus and Remus who wouldnt occur as a possibility until Roman civilization reaches 14% full literacy alphabet development). It climbs until 32% stalling in growth through 27%-26%.
Roman civilization climbs to a great height by 19% and then experiences decline with minor fluctuations until late Roman civilization cultural growth experiences a major decline at 8%, recovery at 6%, decline at 5% almost totally collapsing at 2% before greatly resurging at 1%.
At <1% it finally declines with the Assassination of Julius Ceasar.
