What is the relationship between ancient Greece and Rome?

1, cultural inheritance relationship

During the hundred years of the rise of ancient Greece, ancient Rome was only a small-scale city on the Tiber River in the middle of the Italian peninsula. The art, philosophy and religion of ancient Greece had a far-reaching influence on ancient Rome.

After the rise of ancient Rome, ancient Greece has gradually declined, but the ancient Romans still respected ancient Greek culture, and a large number of ancient Greeks were hired as mentors of ancient Roman nobles. A large number of ancient Greek dramas and literature were introduced into the cultural life of ancient Rome.

2. The relationship between politics and war

After the rise of ancient Rome, after several Macedonian wars, the declining ancient Greek city-state was finally merged into ancient Rome. This also made many people in ancient Greece become slaves of ancient Rome. This also made ancient Rome and ancient Greece have a far-reaching contact and influence.

Ancient Greece is one of the sources of western civilization, which lasted about 650 years (800 BC-65438 BC+046 BC), and it is the most important and direct source of western civilization.

The recorded literature, science, technology and art in the west all started from ancient Greece. Ancient Greece is not a concept of a country, but a title of a region. Ancient Greece is located in the southeast of Europe and the northeast of the Mediterranean, including the islands and archipelagos of the Greek Peninsula, Aegean Sea and Ionian Sea, the southwest coast of Turkey, the east coast of Italy and the east coast of Sicily.

In the 5th-6th century BC, especially after the Greek-Persian War, the economic life of ancient Greece was highly prosperous, and the technology was highly developed, resulting in splendid Greek culture, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations.

The ancient Greeks had profound attainments in philosophy, thought, poetry, architecture, science, literature, drama, mythology and many other aspects. After the demise of ancient Greece, this cultural heritage was continued by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the whole western civilization.
