What did the ancient Greeks use an acropolis for?
Acropolis means “High City” It was mainly used for strategic purposes when it came to defending such city against enemy attacks. Its elevated position was thought to be an advantage over foes. **** “The word Acropolis, although Greek in origin and associated primarily with the Greek cities Athens, Argos, Thebes, and Corinth (with its Acrocorinth), may be applied generically to all such citadels, including Rome, Jerusalem, Celtic Bratislava, many in Asia Minor, or even Castle Rock in Edinburgh.” http://en.wikipedia.
