It depends on how you define a republic to start with. A lot of historical governments could be called republics if you take the term to mean any sort of representative government, and it was probably one of the more common forms of self rule in smaller villages and peasant rebellion states. And depending on how citizenship was limited, there could be specialized republics for merchants, for pirates, and so on.

Oh and it's a bit of a stretch, but I guess Iroquois Confederacy could also be considered a republic, the fact that each chief, who was elected by the chief elder women (inheritance followed matrilineality too), was a representative in a parliamentary council. This would make it qualify as a republic in a similar way as Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is sometimes referred to as a noble republic.
