I don’t know enough about Roman politics to contradict but “any civilisation really” is definitely too broad of a stroke.

Greed and corruption has been around for as long as land and money have.

Sure. But it only really becomes a problem in very large communities. A chieftain overseeing 50-100 villagers isn’t as easily corrupted.

At that point, the scale is just different. That’s when the brother of the chief gets to build his new hut on the nice hill.
