Widespread urban way of life and culture of Rome promoted the change of the society and culture of Empire. Urbanization not only made the basis of Empire enlarged, but set up an effective autonomous system of municipality and went with the lack of the soldiers and officers, as well as strengthened the control of the provinces. Hence, at large it promoted the development of economy of the cities in Empire. It accelerated the breaking of the tribal system of the Celtic area of the West Europe. The Roman Road System quickly accelerated the life and diffusion of Christian Church. However, political factors evading widely into the development of Urbanism and negative effects of the luxury mode of consume brought astray the development of urbanization, and overly enlarged the burden of finance of cities and weakened the basis of Empire.
