Civilizations can be defined by five traits:
1) advanced cities
2) specialized workers
3) complex institutions
4) record keeping
5) advanced technology
For a civilization to be considered ancient, I personally think that it should be older or exist at the same time as a Classical age civilization...

But "Ancient" really is a subjective term, so use your own judgement :)
A city-state is a government and nation that is completely limited to a single city. For example, Vatican City and Monaco.

An ancient civilization is a group of people or community from hundreds of years ago.
A city state .... is hard to explain.
