Before coins were invented, a barter system was in use (e.g. I'll give you 20 eggs for a new pair of shoes etc.)

After that they started using coins (around 8th-7th century B.C.) Each city-state had its own coins made of gold, silver, copper or iron.

The city of Rome has never been destroyed. It's ancient buildings were vandalized but many of them are still there. Medieval and modern Rome are still in the same place as ancient Rome.

The homeland of the actual Greek people was much smaller original , as Iperos was a break of state of the declining Illyria [ early Albania ] ; Kentriki Makedonia [central Macedonia] , Diktiki Makedonia [west Macedonia] , and the western part of Antoliki Makedonia Kai Thraki [east Macedonia and Thrace ] was part of the kingdom of Makedon which also included modern day Blageovgrad in Bulgaria and the modern day republic of Macedonia ; the central & western part of Antoliki Makedonia Kai Thraki [east Macedonia and Thrace ] was inhabited by NON hellenic Thracians [related to Thessalians and Dacians ] ; the kingdom of Thessaly was inhabited by NON Hellenic Thessalians

[ related to Thracians & Dacians ] and the majority of the Agean Islands was inhabited by Turkic peoples living in kingdoms similar to those on the mainland of modern day Greece and Turkey . Contrary to those claims by radical right wing Greeks , Turkey WAS inhabited by Turks .

The Spartans massacred the Turks in the Agean Islands after the pelopenesian war , massacred the Thracians in 1833 after taking Thrace of the Otomans , and did the same in 1912-13 under theBucharest treaty to the Albanians , Macedonians & Thracians .

Greek influence on the Romans, the Latins and other Italic peoples in central and southern |Italy started very early in their history. This was because the Greeks established colonies (settlements) in southern Italy and Sicily between the 8th and 7th centuries B.C. Being a more advanced civilisation, these Greeks had a profound impact on all the Italic peoples they came in contact with during their archaic (early) period. For example, Etruscan civilisation arose out of trade with and deep influence by these Greeks in what has been called the orientalising period, where the Etruscans adopted Greek motifs for their pottery and Greek architectural styles. The Italic peoples also adopted and adapted the western Greek alphabet to create their own written languages. This included written Etruscan and written Latin (the Romans were Latins). Recent archaeological evidence has shown that the Latins were influenced by the Greeks of Cumae (a Greek city near Naples, just 125 miles south of Rome) as well as the Etruscans in their archaic period.

Already in the 6th century B.C., the Romans started using the books of the Sibylline of Cumae. The Sibyllines were Greek oracles, some of whom lived in Cumae, near Naples, only some 125 miles south of Rome. The Romans adopted the Greek twin gods Castor and Pollux and the mythology associated with them by the late 5th century. In the 5th century B.C. they also adopted the Greek god Apollo, who was an oracular god (that is he was the god of the oracles) and built the Temple of Apollo Medicus (the doctor) in in 431. BC. Asclepius, Apollo's son, who mediated Apollo's association with medicine and healing, was also adopted. The Senate was instructed to build a temple in his honour by the Sybil oracles in 293 BC and also procured a statue of him from Greece. During the Second Punic War (218-202 BC) they 'imported' Cybele (whom they called Magna Mater, Great Mother) a Greek goddess because the books of the Sibyl oracles said that with this Rome could defeat Carthage. Besides adopting some Greek gods, at one point the Romans linked their gods to the Greek gods and their associated mythologies.

Greek influence on the Romans increased with the conquest of the Greek city of Tarentum (in the heel of Italy) and with the later contact with mainland Greece. The first educators in Rome were Greeks from Tarentum. The Greeks from mainland Greece were hired. The children of the Roman rich received an education in both Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek. The study of Greek rhetoric became important for those who aspired to a career in politics or as lawyers. Some of these men went to in Greece to study Greek rhetoric or philosophy. Latin literature originally developed through translations or imitations of Greek epics, tragedies and comedies. Early Latin plays were modelled on Greek ones. The Romans developed their own type of plays, but they,too, were based on Greek model. Roman theatres were inspired by those of the Greeks. However, whilst the seating of Greek theatres was always built on hillsides, the Romans built theatres with their own foundations and could be built on flat land.

Two of the main schools of Greek philosophy of the time, Stoicism and Epicureanism, became popular among the Roman elite. The Romans acknowledged the superiority of Greek sculpture and looted statues were sought after. Greek sculptors went to work in Rome. Roman sculptors made replicas of Greek statues for the cheaper end of the market. Starting from Augustus the Roman emperors had statues of themselves made the Hellenistic style of the Greeks. They also made replicas of statues on those of great Greek sculptors. The Romans also adopted Greek medicine and some Greek sports. They adopted Greek cranes and Greek siege machines, such as siege towers and catapults, and improved them.

Greece :P

Athenaeus writes, "On the island Chios the most pleasant thing is to walk over to the gymnasiums and running-tracks and to watch the young men wrestling with the girls."

It probably happened all over the place, in the capital and in villages, maybe like football games today.

After the defeat of the Persian invasion of mainland Greece in 479 BCE, Athens organized an anti-Persian league to protect the cities around the Aegean Sea from Persian intervention. It had its treasury on the island of Delos in the temple of Apollo there. At its peak, there were about 180 city-states in the league, spread around the coast of Asia Minor, Thrace and the Islands, including the islands of Samos, Lesbos, Chios, Rhodes, and such cities as Miletus, Byzantium, Ephesus, Priene etc.

the Peloponnesian war was bad for the losers because the Athenians which were the losers, lost their homeland and it was also bad for the winners because the winners were all the city-states and after the war they won a lot people lost their jobs and their home. It was also bad for the winners because the Spartans and the other city-states lost a lot of men afetr the war.

Pezo- Παίζω

there were three political systems.

democracy demo (δημος) : many people, all the people

oligarchy (a few men ruled) oliga (oloigoi): a few, a small amount

monarchy (one man ruled) mona (monos) : alone

The Greek world comprised over 2,000 independent city-states, each of which had its own government. The governments varied - monarchies, tyrannies, oligarchies and democracies. Cities switched between the types as they found that the existing type failed.

Athens is an example - it started as a monarchy, aristocrats replaced the kings, tyrants were appointed to replace corrupt aristocrats, tyrants became unpopular and were replaced by a democracy, the democracy failed and was replaced by oligarchs.

The games were important because it was all about winning in those days. The winners were treated like royalty if they won an event. The games were for men only so it was a good time for male social gathers.

The most famous of the early mapmakers was a Greek geographer named "Ptolemy"

Demeter wasn't a religion, it was a Greek Goddess that focused on harvest of the Earth. There were cults dedicated to Demeter they focused on making sacrifices to Demeter in exchange for good growth and harvest of much needed crops.
