Imperial Rome had an economy based on chattel slavery; it wasn't capitalism.

It had the three features that you described - a currency, a state, and social classes.

(So did Achaemenid, Arsacid and Sassanid Persia. So did Imperial China: no, I didn't mean Maoist China - I meant Imperial China.)

Therefore, clearly something else is needed to describe kapitalism than just the three features you described.
