Give a comment on my discussion in two sentences

The Roman empire would be described as multicultural because the empire was so large that when they conquered other countries the people would either become slaves or they would be considered part of the Roman empire. Brooks (2019) states that "by the year 117 CE under Trajan the Empire reached its greatest size. It encompassed most of England across to Germany and Romania, all of North Africa from present-day Morocco, and extended to the borders of the Parthian Empire." With all those conquered countries the people there bring their traditions and culture into the empire. One of the cultures that most influenced Roman culture are the Greeks. Slawson (2021) states that "Perhaps the Greek’s most heavily influenced civilization, however, can be seen with the Roman Empire." Slawson (2021) goes on to say "Following the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greece became a center for new ideas and concepts within the Mediterranean. Years later, Greek knowledge of literature, art, architecture, and warfare were all implemented to great lengths by the Romans." Romans really admired the Greeks. Everything about them from their art to their religion heavily influenced the Romans. I think the reason Rome was so influenced by the Greeks is because the Greeks were so advanced and successful in their time. Their biggest problem was unification. So I think the Romans took the best of what the Greeks did and learned from the worst the Greeks did. Also the Greek culture is just very fascinating, so much so that it still is talked about and influences many things to this day.
