Greco-Roman influences are still seen today in several areas. In many instances the Greeks came up with the idea and the Romans adapted them to be practical. In the political field, the Greeks, or more properly the Athenians, came up with the idea of democracy which worked okay for Athens. The Romans agreed in principle with the Greek democracy, but found that it needed revisions in order to be practical in Rome. In architecture, we still have the columns, mostly Greek, but many of our public buildings have the Roman dome. In language, there are specialized vocabularies in law, medicine and science which rely heavily on either Greek or Latin, or both. Also, many of our common everyday words have Greek or Latin origins.
