Much of Western philosophy until recently was centred on the works of the Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle. The Greeks laid the first foundations of western science. European literature was greatly influenced by Greek and Latin literature. The architecture and sculpture of the Renaissance (14th-16th centuries) Baroque (17th-18th centuries) and neoclassicism (18th-20 centuries) were based on the architecture and sculpture of the Romans. The themes of the sculptures and paintings of these three artistic period were often Greek and Roman myths. Roman civil law had provided the foundation of the civil law of many modern countries.

Until recently, the classics (the Greek and the Romans) were an important part of the education of the elites.

The Romans have also given us Christianity. Judea was part of the Roman province of Syria; that is, it was part of the Roman Empire. Christianity spread around the Roman Empire. Both Catholic and Orthodox Christianity originally developed in the Roman Empire, the former in its western part, the latter in its western part.
