What happened to the Greeks when Rome was starting to grow Cato?

I am reading about the first few kings of the republic. I am wondering where did Numa, Tullus Hostilius and successive kings brought the knowledge how to organise a State such as minting money, organising a Senate......from the Etruscans?

I've done some research and the calendar was an indication when business was supposed to happen ie every nine days. It seemed that doing business within nine days was a sacrilege. (Source: HBO 'ROME' series Season 1, Episode 2??)

Are civil wars more shameful than conquering another mans land? The Romans were brutal but were they conquered they spread civilisation and the PAX ROMANA. I do not imagine how the world could have been without the Roman Civilisation.

I was watching 'Rome' HBO Series 2nd Season and in Episode 7, there is a shot of a wall and inscriptions on it. Actually there are 12 columns so I assume it is a sort of calendar. However there is a person inserting some kind of stone in holes. What is he doing?

I think it is shameful that Romans had to kill each other in civil wars. If Rome was spared from civil wars it would have been stronger to conquer more lands. Please comment.

Can anyone comment: 1) at what period Rome had 1 million people living in the city. 2) The 1 million people lived within the walls of Rome or at the outskirts? Thanks.

In 'ROME' HBO series - 2nd Season, Episode 5, the subtitles information system tells that the colour of the stripes on a Senator's Toga was purple. I thought the colour red was the striped colour. Any comments?

I have read somewhere that straight wine was a vulgar especially to nobles. Those who drank wine with water were more polite. Is it true?

Those who watched the last movie of the Star Wars trilogy, first part, "The Return of the Sith", the plot has similar connotations how the Roman Republic changed to the Roman Empire. In the movie, one can evaluate that the Galactic Republic finally changed to the Galactic Empire. Any comments?
