Question

In what ways did the Roman Empire surpass the ancient Greeks, and other Mediterranean

cultures, as they built one of history's largest and longest-lasting empires?

Answer 1

The Roman era of Greek history began with the Corinthian defeat in the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC. However, before the Achaean War, the Roman Republic had been steadily gaining control of mainland Greece by defeating the Kingdom of Macedon in a series of conflicts known as the Macedonian Wars.
