The Romans did have a civil war during its tranision from Republic to Dictatorship. At the close of their empire they had more civil wars between generals about who would become emporor. They avoided civil war during the majority of their existence because they were ruled by a centralized government. Greece was never a unified as single empire, it was an alliance of city-states. Because of this abscence of any centralized absolute authority, they city-states fell into differences and it escalated into war.

The romans did not avoid civil wars. They had a lot of them. From about 150 bc to the founding of the Roman Empire was a period full of civil wars.

the romans used brute force to squash rebellions so as a result very few were ever organized

One thing that was cool about the Romans is that when they conquered another peoples, they didn't abolish their faith, they just added their god to the roman pantheon.
