ancient Rome has given us some of the world's greatest literature, such as the works of Virgil, Horace, Terrance, Plautus, Catalus, Ovid and Petronius. Even their histories, from the relatively simple histories of Julius Caesar to the more advanced writings of Tacitus rank with world literature. The Romans also served as preservationists in a way, for the Greek writings and literature. Among the ruins of Herculaneum, the archaeologists found libraries which had scrolls of many of the original Greek plays/works which were thought to be lost.They are working to read them at present.
