These include states like Sparta , Athens , and the Roman Republic . The Romans used the term res publica to describe their state, but the most common sense of that term is closer to body politic or commonwealth . The phrase was coined, it seems, to distinguish the post Lucius Tarquinius Superbus Tarquin political system with the previous monarchy, the res privata . The idea of republicanism was a creation of the Renaissance .

They looked to the history of the classical republics and attempted to emulate their model. In particular, they saw the mixed government of Rome and Sparta as the secret ... of government based upon this Renaissance study of the past is known as classical republicanism .
