Just out of curiosity, why would you want to weaken them economically? By the look of the map you win the game if you capture Rome

Yes, I think thats correct. The public order you see the city having might not be the one used during the AI turn. I once destroyed temple, arena, academy and put 3 very skilled spies in a Brutii city. They were completely broke and didn't build or repair anything for over 10 years (stalemate with Carthage, 3 full stacks of pre-marian troops just looking at Carthage). The public order was 30-35% for all that time but the city didn't even riot once.

You can wait as long as you want. The reason the city isn't rebeling is because the owning faction if Roman. I think this was put in the game to make the roman factions always dominant. As other factions have to worry about public order or they lose the city to rebels, Roman factions (computer controlled) don't have this worry. So, they can leave nobody in a settlement 2000 miles from their capital city and not lose it. The only way a Roman computer controlled faction can lose a city to revolt is if the cities buildings are primarily of another culture. (e.g. the Scipii will lose Alexandria to Egypt if the culture there is egyptian.) A city that is mostly roman will never revolt and become rebels.
