Gods, Open Bathhouses, and Warfare. The Greeks and Romans advanced civilization to a high standard just before it crumbed and was dashed into shambles. Though they had advances back then, just how have the Greeks shaped the western civilization, how did the Romans influence it as well?…
As the Greeks possessed the virtues of sophistication, intelligence, lust for life and being artistic and cultured, the Romans too desired to achieve this type of wealth. The Romans had a knack for replicating those ideas that would benefit them. Much like the recreation of the Carthaginian warships, the Roman recreated various other aspects of the Grecian way of life.…

Greek civilization, in many ways, was the most advanced population of it's time. The Greeks have created a great stir in modern day values, events, and philosophy, and they were just getting warmed up. The question, "What did the Greeks contribute to modern society", was posed, and I will begin to answer. The Greeks created a vast religious system, filled with heroes, gods, villains, monsters, and more. This has fascinated us, and has even influenced some of our brands of clothing, Nike for example (Nike being the goddess of victory). Speaking of Nike, the Olympic games were held in celebration of her, and was often seen as the main event. She was held in the hand of the statue of Athena during the games, and the olive wreaths were actually…

The Greeks Had a big influence on the Romans during the reign of the Roman Empire. The Romans did make this influence into something all of their own but the influence is seen throughout much of their culture. The Greeks influence many areas of the Roman culture such as, art, religion, writing, and philosophy. When the Roman Republic defeated the ancient Greek Empire, Greek slaves were taken prisoner by the Romans. Some of these Greek slaves ended up being mentors and teachers for some of the Roman children.…

Throughout Egypt, during the middle empire art evolved as a symbol for power and permanence featuring straight lines and powerful figures; as time passed art evolved again morphing from simply representational images of man to the more idealized and anatomically correct style of Roman art. As art became more and more prevalent through the late 3rd and early 4th century’s artists began to focus more on anatomical perfection and realism borrowing artistic elements from other cultures such as the Greeks. Though the artistic styles of ancient Egypt and early Roman art vary widely, the underlying symbolism remains the same. This is clear in both the Egyptian Sculpture Vizier (Figure 1) and the Roman sculpture Bust of and Unknown Man (Figure 2). Where the ideas and concepts of both sculptures are essentially the same, their vastly different styles are evident of the time periods in which they were made.…

Ancient Romes’ government was constantly modified to fit the needs of the ruler at the time. Starting out as monarchy, then changing to a republic and lastly ending with an empire. With the rise and the fall of the Roman Empire came the fervent influence of Roman art and literature. Just look at the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, without the knowledge in engineering and the fine arts this structure wouldn't have been built. While Romans were heavily influenced by the Greeks, the way the Romans have advanced the political system, engineering, the arts and literature have impacted civilizations to come.…
