Question : 23 of 66

Marks: +1, -0

The lack of hierarchical administration in ancient cities can be deduced by the absence of religious and regal structures such as temples and palaces.
Contrary to our assumption that urban settlements have always involved hierarchical political and administrative structures, ancient cities were not organized in this way.
The emergence of a class of administrators and ruling stratum transformed the egalitarian urban life of ancient cities to the hierarchical civic organizations of today.
We now have the evidence in support of the existence of an egalitarian urban life in some ancient cities, where political and civic organization was far less hierarchical.
