What are the simularities between ancient rome and the US today?

Answer 1

None. We are talking about two totally different historical period some 1,200 years apart, two totally different society and ethnic groups and different part of the world.

However, the Romans have had some influence on America through the way they influenced Western Europe, such as the use of Latin words in science, medicine, law and theology and the use of some of the fundamental principles of law. Until the early 20th century the Romans also influenced architecture and sculpture and painting (Renaissance and Neoclassical architecture and sculpture and paintings were based on Greco-Roman models). Neoclassicism was also popular in the US. Latin poets and Roman mythology influenced European literature and to some extent the American one. The ideal of the Roman Republic influenced the ideals of the American Constitution.

English alphabet, like the alphabets of all western European languages is an adaptation of the latin alphabet. Many words in English also have Latin roots. This occurred in two main ways. One was that Latin was the language of the church and a language used by the educated elites. This led to the introduction of Latin words, some of which have retained their original form. The other was that with the conquest by the Normans from France, French became the language of the court and through this, many French words, whose origin is Latin, entered the English language.

Answer 2

The major difference between ancient Rome and Rome today is roughly 3000 years. Ancient Rome was a pre-Christian society while modern Rome is a Christian society. The two cultures, although in agreement on some points, were different in many of their attitudes and outlooks. Their attitude toward religion, life and death, vengence and justice are a few of the differences between the ancient and the modern.
