Tour guiding in ancient times was a means by which strangers to a city were acclimated to what was available for them. In both ancient Greece and Rome, strangers were individually shown different areas of a city or told where to find things they needed.
Ancient Greece was made up of many city-states that formed a nation, but Rome was an empire, they conquered most of Europe, while the ancient Greeks remained in their city states. The roman worldview was more about military training, discipline and order. Romans fought in legions, groups of people who worked together and fought together in the battle. Most Greek's city-states (less Sparta), didn't have a worldview that had so much to do with war as the Romans had. The Greeks cared more about art, architecture, science, philosophy, etc. The Roman were ruled by a monarch by some time, then they ruled themselves as a republic and finally when they started making their empire, they were ruled by a emperor, who had most of the power, but had to work with the senate. The Greeks didn't have any of that, each city-state ruled itself by its own way. For example Sparta used monarchy, but Athens ruled themselves by democracy they had 10 Strategos (Greek term), who were like the rulers, but Athens had like a council where each citizen could express himself and give ideas, vote, etc. They ruled themselves, but in times of war the Strategos would take decisions.
Among many things some of the more important concepts borrowed by the USA from ancient Greece and ancient Rome were the rights of citizens to vote; to have people accused of a crime be entitled to a jury trial. In ancient Athens for a good period of time, there existed a "democracy" From Rome, the idea of written laws. In addition Rome also had a system for citizens to vote. These essentials for a representative government were lost for ages. The USA placed these basics in US laws. In the era that the USA was formed, few nations had these basic rights in law.
Rome's geography is similar to Greece's because they are both part of the Mediterrenean countries. Although there are many differences-Rome & Greece both have parts in their countires where land is so barren you only have good enought soil for pasturage ~Nick4evr~
Rome is on the Italian peninsula. Greece is somewhat farther east. Both are in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Mediterranean
Bothe Rome and Greece were polytheistic because Rome stole a lot of gods from the Greeks. Both Rome and Greece used rivers and oceans as a form of trade. Both used a democracy as their from of government.
Both Rome and Greece experienced a period of time called the Golden Age. This was a span of years when there was relative peace and the arts and culture flourished. The golden age of Greece was loosely from 500 to 300 BC while the golden age of Rome was the reign of Augustus.
Most ancient civilisations built aqueducts because of the importance of water. There were aqueducts both in Greece and Rome. The Roman aqueducts are more famous.
They all calendars and and they all were Mediterranean countries
Sicily was owned by both, at separate times, though. Sicily was a colony of Greece, even though it is geographically closer to Carthage, who owned part of it. Then, the Romans fought for it and won. THE END!
