How did Greece influence the development of Rome?
Greece influenced pretty much everything in Rome. Rome was completely, hopelessly, and utterly fascinated by the Greeks. They adopted Greek politics, government, dress, education, a lot of methods of warfare, ship building, trade, architecture, even their Gods, which is kind of wierd that they couldn’t even come up with their OWN Gods. Educated Romans were “educated” in Greek, and spoke the language. Rome went as far as to actually taking Greece itself for its own. Rome didn’t “conquer” Greece, they INHALED it! At least they picked one of the greatest civilizations on earth to completely copy.
