Classical Greece and Rome are two main cultures in European history, they both influenced today's society tremendously through their similarities and differences. Some of their similarities and differences included how they ran their government, how they expressed themselves through art, and what they believed for a religion. Similarities between both ancient Greece and Rome’s government was they both had different branches of government, they both had a senate and multiple government powers, Rome had the emperor, senate, assemblies, and councils. While Greece had senate and representatives. Both cultures had a class system that played into how much power a person had in government. In Rome you were either a slave, freedman, peasant or citizen. Within being a citizen they had ranks. Citizens were the highest of the classes and were able to run for senate and able to participate in government. The republic was controlled by the emperor. Magistrates and provincial governors were chosen from wealthy aristocrats. This is similar to the Greeks because their social class also had effect on their political power. In Greece you had to be a male who owned land, these people were called citizens, if you were not a citizen they you could not vote, the people who could not vote were the freedmen and slaves called the lower class. Differences between the government in Rome and Greece is Greece had a democracy, where the people got to choose who was in their government, they also
Rome had a better form of citizenship for many reasons. The main reasons are they had more citizens, they had a republic system and a senate. One of the main reasons why Rome had a better form of citizenship was because they considered more people citizens. They considered free-native born adult males, free-native born adult females, free-native born male children, female children and sons of freed slaves citizens. In Ancient Greece the only people they considered citizens were free-native born adult males. In Rome, the only people not considered citizens were slaves and freed slaves. Ancient Greece did not have as many citizens as Rome because they only consider free-native born adult males citizens. A similarity of Rome and Greece is
When the Athenians were making their laws all 40,000 of their citizens were invited to the lawmaking process,whilst the Romans had a 300 man senate. Also the Romans had an easier way of becoming a citizen. Another way that they differ is that Athens was ruled by a council of 500 and the Roman empire was ruled by the senate and up until third century BCE Roman kings.The Roman Empire is far more superior to the Athenian city-state because of the more efficient government, better laws and more in touch citizens.
Entertainment wise the people of Rome and the people of American share some what the same interest in the same things. For example gladiators and horse races evolved to boxing and Nascar. Also physically demanding things
The Athenian and Roman governments both had similarities in their form of government, but the differences that they had made them unique because of the parties and rules they lived by. To start off, the Athenian Government was a democracy and the Roman Government was a republic. Each of them had very important specific details which make them unique and different like what made them citizens and able to vote for the officials, and how they organized their government system.
I feel There are a variety of vocal points when bringing up similarities and differences between Greece and Rome. The two vocal points I feel strongly about are both their military and leadership. When talking about their militaries we have two of the strongest forces to ever grace the earth. When talking about their respective cultures we are talking about beliefs that spread nationwide. These are the similarities and differences between Greece and Rome.
The Romans borrowed almost all of its mythology from Greece. The only thing the Romans changed was the names of the Greek gods. And the Greek gods lasted much longer Greece. That is another reason Greece was better than Rome.
Rome's government was more organised than Athens for many reasons. The pictures in document E and F show that rome was more organized because they held meetings in buildings and they were not roaming around while Athens held their meetings outside and people roamed around freely. Rome was organized and not roaming around they were sitting down, listening, and speaking when they were aloud to. Rome also met in buildings while athens met outside meaning they were sometimes stopped by weather and could easily be disrupted. Athens Allowed citizens to show up while Rome did not.
A disparity of the classical civilizations of Athens and Han China was the type of government in each culture. Greece consisted of many individual city-states. Each polis, an individual city state, had similar traditions, but different cultures. Greece was also comprised of many islands. Mountains dominated the
The Greeks and the Romans were two empires with similar goals, but contrasting government control. Within Greece were the Spartans and Athenians, which had two diverse governmental bodies. The Spartans were ruthless and focused on military success, while the Athenians lived off of a democracy and let their people decide what was best for the state. Close by were the Romans, who cared for their people liked the Athenians, but made acquiring land a necessity as to the Spartans. Although the Spartans, Athenians, and Romans were made up of different laws and government, they still kept control over their people for centuries to come.
The similarity in government Greece and China share are the way they rule over their civilians. China has dynasties which mean one person out of a family is in control of the civilization. And one of Greece’s forms of government is a monarchy, which is ruled by one king. Since China used dynasties to elect their rulers it was not very fair to the civilians because after a family member died another one stepped up or another dynasty was created. It also was not very fair for the monarchies in Greece because the rulers and the people in the city-state would not always get along.
The Greek democratic and Roman republic governments each had their own positive and negative aspects making them similar, yet exclusively different. Both have had tremendous influences on governments in our modern world. Rome was a republic where the leaders were chosen through voting, while Greece practiced a more direct democracy in which the citizens participated in the crucial decision-making within the government. This paper will attempt to diagnose the fundamental similarities of each government coupled with the not so obvious differences. Based on the evidence from each type of government, it is clear that each were similar and different in numerous ways, in particular the way each government
The government the U.S has today is very similar to the government Greece and Rome had. Greece and Rome were very advanced in government because they had a variety of principles including democracy, checks and balances, and citizen duties. The U.S copied these principles of government from Greece and Rome and they are still used today. Democracy was used in Greece in Rome and was modeled by the U.S later on.
Athens and Rome are two separate paradigms; they both had a certain standard to a way of life. Athens was civic and Rome was technocratic towards their people. Meaning that Athens was people based which gave the public responsibility to how they wanted to live because they had a voice. They also had customs that connected them as people, like social gatherings. Rome on the other hand was technology based which was more about how to make money or spend money to fix a problem.
Aside from these physical differences, there is a difference in the goals between the Greeks and the Romans. In the first case what concerns the Greek city-states is limited to self-preservation if not individual fame and success. The Romans, on the other hand, were concerned with the success of the country as a whole; they knew that if the whole was successful, then the individual parts would also benefit.
In around 428-65 BC, Greece and Rome were both creating new cultural ideals, ways of using government, and built allies to help benefit the country. Both Empires created similar cultures including cities,technology, complex institutions, record keeping and specialized works. Eventually when they began to expand into a vast empires, they had to come up with ways of organizing and obtaining enough resources for their people. This lead to complex trading tactics, forms of government, and social structure. Even though Rome and Greece were both critical to the creation of the United States, Rome was more influential due to the way it trades with other countries, glorified people of certain social positions, and structured its government.
