Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comte's theory proposes three stages of societal development: theological, metaphysical, and scientific. The theological stage is characterized by a society that explains the world through the supernatural and gods, which aligns with the ancient Romans' view of the stars as gods. Therefore, Roman society would be classified as a theological stage according to Comte's theory.
