Ancient Rome and ancient Greece belonged to competing dynasties in the same region and era. Later, ancient Rome annexed ancient Greece.
The two major civilizations of ancient Greece and ancient Rome are the cradle of Western culture, leaving us with an unsurpassable height in both cultural and art history.
Among them, ancient Greek culture was the source of Roman culture. Roman culture continued to develop and innovate on its basis, creating many unique cultures, artistic concepts and masterpieces.

The Romans not only learned trade from the Greeks, but also learned writing, myths and legends and other civilizations, and developed into Latin and Roman mythology .
But they did not like the political system of the Greeks. Later, Rome unknowingly conquered the world through the battle against Carthage. After the glory of Caesar and Octavian, the Roman Empire was eventually defeated by Christians and northern minorities such as the Huns.
Greece is composed of the mainland peninsula and some small islands scattered in the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only the north connected to the land. It has more hills than plains, and has a mild maritime climate.
It is precisely because of such geographical conditions that it is difficult to develop agriculture. In order to survive, the Greeks learned to exchange agricultural products with other regions, and gradually formed prosperous trade in the Mediterranean region.
The environment of Rome was similar to that of Greece. It was located in what is now the Italian Peninsula and was a hilly and swampy area. Therefore, agriculture is not very developed. But Rome’s solution to this problem was a bloody one—invasion and expansion.
