Many Ancient Greek ideas have continued, practically unchanged, into the modern era. Areas such as literature and architecture would be unrecognizable without the Ancient Greeks. Their legacy has undoubtedly helped to shape the course of history. Important concepts that they left behind are their systems of government, culture and arts, and science and technology. The Ancient Greeks may have lived over 2000 years ago, but they are still with us today. During the pinnacle of the Greek civilization, Greek culture and ideas spread throughout the Mediterranean. It was first copied by the Ancient Romans and after the middle Ages, the European Renaissance rediscovered many features of Greek culture and used them in art and architecture.

These man made creations were all built sometime during the classical period and stretched across the existing known western-world at that time. Only one of the seven ancient wonders still exists today, and perhaps one of the most well-known ones at that, the Great Pyramid of Giza. From a time covering 2650 to the 3rd Century BC, these works of art scattered the landscapes for many reasons. Some were impressive tombs holding the remains of famous kings, colossal statues admiring supreme gods and others were simply to test the limits of what was humanly possible.

Though it has been thousands of years since the Roman Empire prospered, we can still see evidence of their culture in our art, architecture, technology, literature, language, law, and religion. As a result, the ancient Romans have forever left their mark on our world. At its essence, Roman culture symbolized power, loyalty, and tradition that were so greatly prized in Roman society. Because the Romans cooperated with the Greeks from the earliest days of their history, the Romans also used certain Greek ideas and transformed them to suit Roman society. The result was an empire and a culture that combined the Roman, no-nonsense approach, with elements of Greek beauty and style. It is due to that unique mixture of strength and splendor that Roman culture continues to inspire and intrigue us today. Designed for both classroom & home / independent learning.
