Rome's Presence In Ancient Rome

In all of ancient Rome there is the presence of the Greeks there as well. It is shown in their religion, architecture, literature and their artwork. Today I’m going to be talking about two of them that are important to me, so I hope you enjoy architecture and religion.

Ancient Greeks and Romans were strongly affected by these gods and goddesses. They worshipped them daily, offering parts of their meal to the gods and taking part in special religious festivals and holidays. “(World Religions Reference Library,
