Rome And Greece Similarities

Greece influenced roman societies and modern day societies politically as explained in documents 1, 2, 4, and 6. Greece was the first ancient civilization to have a democracy. The basic rule for roman society law system was displayed in the twelve tables. (Doc 2) Many western civilizations adapted this law system as well as other ideas from the roman 12 tables which influenced western societies immensely. The document explains a quote that we still use in modern society which is “every man is innocent until proven guilty.” Octavian Augustus states that after he dies “the foundations which I have laid for its future government will stand firm and stable” the Greeks invented an idea of a ruling senate which today is known as democracy. (Doc 4)

Ancient Greece and Rome has influenced American culture and society specifically in government, sports, military, architecture, medicine, and math. The influence of Greece can be seen daily in the columns we observe on buildings such as The White House and Capitol Building. Rome has influenced the United States in our governmental practices through the sharing of a republic or a representative democracy. Greece and Rome both have contributed to America society in numerous ways that impact our daily lives from the Julian Calendar to 3.14, Pi.

Aside from these physical differences, there is a difference in the goals between the Greeks and the Romans. In the first case what concerns the Greek city-states is limited to self-preservation if not individual fame and success. The Romans, on the other hand, were concerned with the success of the country as a whole; they knew that if the whole was successful, then the individual parts would also benefit.

In this world there are many things/issues that people disagree on, these disagreements go from the smallest things, to the most complex. Disagreements are about all kinds of things, sometimes the cause protest or leads to a jury trial. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout the (main character) is the protagonist; she lives in Maycomb, this is a “racist town”, she lives with her father, Atticus, he is a lawyer, and her brother, Dill. In this strange town lives a black guy that everyone thinks rapped a woman, Tom Robinson, but Atticus, is trying to help him. Scout who doesn’t know much about “Negros” and with her father trying to help one, things gets a little complicated because she tries to help, but

Moreover, the law did not allow women to hold office, but the men who held offices were allowed to seek counsel of their wives and this could only be done in private. Conversely, equality of men and women was more in the Roman society than it had been in the Greek culture.

Their religions however, were quite similar, their gods were practically the same but different names (except Apollo), same powers and all. The Greeks were obsessed with their gods building precise statues, with romans utilizing the flaws of the people in their statues. Something that was important that the Greeks lacked was a natural fresh water source. This was important for growing olives, olives were a valuable crop that could be traded for grains, meat, and other essentials. I think that Greeks impacted europe the most.

Rome and Greece were two extremely important and iconic ancient civilizations. They had some things in common, but they differed in most areas. With Rome being located in Italy, and Greece being so close they are often compared. From politics down to the culture that existed in these places, they differed in many ways, Rome and Greece had distinctive personalities, which was what made them both so unique in their own ways.

We borrowed many things from Rome and Greece. In Rome, we had interest in their law and politics and their literature. In Greece, we had interest in their art and architecture. In both Rome and Greece, we had other interest in other things they had such as mathematics and languages.

Greece’s economy was primarily based on the trade of grapes, cereals, and olive oil. However, because of natural constraints, production soon proved insufficient to satisfy demand. The olive tree and grapevine were the main sources for economic growth, as well as the cultivation of herbs and vegetables. Sheep and goats were the most common types of livestock. Woods were heavily exploited, first for domestic use and eventually to build triremes. Bees were kept to produce honey, the only source of sugar known to the ancient Greeks. Since it was so labor intensive, agriculture employed up to 80% of the Greek population.[5] Ancient Rome was a slave-based economy whose main concern was feeding the vast number of citizens and legionaries who populated the Mediterranean region. Agriculture and trade dominated the Roman economy, only supplemented by small scale industrial production.5 This was a similarity between Greece and Rome because Greece had to adapt to the demands of their own economy, and trade, while Rome had to do the same, but to a greater extent because their main concern was to feed the people of their empire.

The Greek democratic and Roman republic governments each had their own positive and negative aspects making them similar, yet exclusively different. Both have had tremendous influences on governments in our modern world. Rome was a republic where the leaders were chosen through voting, while Greece practiced a more direct democracy in which the citizens participated in the crucial decision-making within the government. This paper will attempt to diagnose the fundamental similarities of each government coupled with the not so obvious differences. Based on the evidence from each type of government, it is clear that each were similar and different in numerous ways, in particular the way each government

While both Roman and Greek cultures greatly influenced Western Civilization, Greeks contributed more to the western world than the Romans. The Greeks used their own ideas and thought of new ways to add to their culture, while the Romans mostly mixed and matched ideas from other civilizations and cultures to make their own. The Romans took up the inheritance of the Greeks adapted it to their own language and national traditions. (Grant 2)The Greeks introduced many new ideas and traditions, the most important being democracy - Athenian democracy in particular.

US and Rome have a lot of differences and similarities such as presidencies, voting and much more. Rome and the US are similar and different from each other. There governments are almost similar and the problems they faced are almost alike. They had many differences as well such as there presidencies and there voting policies.

The Romans borrowed almost all of its mythology from Greece. The only thing the Romans changed was the names of the Greek gods. And the Greek gods lasted much longer Greece. That is another reason Greece was better than Rome.

Many often lump Greek and Roman culture into one movement. The Greeks were an influence on the Roman Empire in everything from their art, architecture, and mathematics to their political structure. Though they are separated by over 500 years, the building of the Parthenon and Pantheon were each hugely significant architectural strides for each culture. Each has their similarities, as well as differences. On a whole, they set the way for the architects of the future with their vision.
