Romans and Greeks
The common things: •The Roman had a lot in common with the Greek
In politics: Both peoples had traditions rooted in the idea of the citizen assembly, hostile to monarchy and to servility.
In religions: Their religions were alike enough for most of their deities to be readily identified---Greek Zeus with Roman Jupiter, Greek Aphrodite with Roman Venus, and so on---and their myths to be fused.
In languages:Their languages worked in similar ways, and were ultimately related, both being members of the Indo-European language family.
The difference:
•There was one big difference
•The Romans built up a vast empire; the Greeks didn‘t. Except for the
brief moment ofAlexander‘s conquests, which soon disintegrated.
