Two civilizations that share many similarities and differences are the Romans and Greeks. The Greeks influenced many aspects of the Roman civilization. The Greeks first came to be around 1600 B.C.E. Rome was supposedly founded in 753 B.C.E. The ancient Greek civilization rose to power before Rome was established, and fell at the hands of Rome. Both were powerful in their time, and both left legacies that can still be found today. The Greeks were located in a mountainous peninsula, a…
