Answer:
Ancient Rome owes to ancient Greece cultural, religious, artistic, philosophical and political aspects, among others.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cultural evolution of the Roman people reflects the influence of Greek cultural forms from early stages.
While that influence was felt in Rome especially since the Romans conquered Southern Italy (Magna Grecia) in the third century b.C. Thus, it was from the second century b.C. with the beginning of the conquest of the Eastern Mediterranean countries when the Hellenization of Roman culture was consumed.
The following facts reflect the Greek cultural influence in the Roman world :
- The Roman religion, which was originally native, began in the third century b.C. to identify Roman gods with Greek gods and to surround them with the myths and forms that the Greeks had given them.
- Although with great technical innovations Roman art assimilated the aesthetic ideals of Greek artists.
- Latin literature and philosophy followed the models elaborated by the Greek world very often.
- For the cultured Romans, Greek culture was the model of higher culture, so they educated their children with Greek teachers who taught them to read and write in Greek.
- Despite the Roman rule, the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean did not lose their Hellenic cultural identity but continued with it.
