What effect did the Greeks have on Rome?(after the greeks were conquered by the romans)?

Question

I'm pretty sure that the language of Rome was Greek. Can somebody verify this and give me some more examples.

Answer 1

The Romans defeated the Visigoths and Goths and called them the barbarians seeing as they were barbaric compared to them, but as later history tells the “barbarian” were anything but barbaric. They were a complex group of people with leaders just as the Romans had and forms of government that rivaled the Roman government in fairness, and when you look deeper into the Roman punishments and into the “barbarian” punishments. It turns out that the real barbarians are the Romans. This shows that because they won the battle and were able to keep their empire, they were also allowed to right their own history. Allowing them to insult anyone they pleased.
During the 11th century there were no real borders in Europe they had places that were open borders and countries owned land, but no one knew what they actually owned. For example at one point William I of England owned 90% of France when it was still considered France. There were no real borders and people just owned whatever their armies were encamped upon. On the other hand, now all land in Europe is divided down to the foot with border patrol and other advancements of recent times. Although its different then it used to be, is it better than it was in the 11th century.

Answer 2

The language of Rome was Latin.

Certainly though, the Greeks had a huge impact on the Roman Empire. Greek literature, art, architecture, and even religion influenced Rome.

Rome was a little like a sponge: as the empire conquered more and more territory, it absorbed the cultures it came into contact with. Many facets of the conquered cultures were accepted into Roman culture.

Answer 3

Good question:

Simple answer: Roman empire took over Greece when Greek empire was on a decline. However the Greek culture was far superior, so the Romans adopted greek politics, war tactics, arts, architecture... and almost every facet of civilization, and then added to it a bit, and developed their own identity modeled on Greek culture. Becuse of the similar culture, at some pint in time Greeks under the roman banner took control of the Roman empire in the east and even concored the Western roman empire when the goths invaded for a while, and at that point in time and Greek was once again the main language... Byzantine empire or Eastern roman Empire...

The language in Rome was latin when the Romans first concured Greece however the language used in the empire at that time was still greek becuase again the Romans took over the Greek empire which encompassed all of then Asia and parts of Africa.

Answer 4

The language of Rome was Latin.
The Greeks spoke classical Greek.
And a language form called Aramaic came to be developed from Herbrew and Greek and was used by traders all over the Mediterranean.

The Romans borrowed their governmental republican form from Greek oligarchies. They stole and renamed the entire Greek pantheon--Zeus becoming Jupiter right down to the thunderbolts he wielded, Hera becoming Juno,Ares Mars and Aphrodite Venus, etc.

More than that, they copied Greek temples, adding their own fine roads, the grid plan of streets, and some of the public offices; and the Greeks within the empire ran businesses and were the mercantile chief proprietors in cities for over 600 years.

The Romans hired Greeks as philosophers, teachers, musicians, and kept them as learnd slaves and servants.
The old line runs, "The Romans conquered trhe Greeks; and then the Greeks conquered the Romans".

The Romans borrowed ideas and foods and customs from everyone, but the Greeks were the chief civilizers of the ancient Mediterranean world--including the rather primitive Romans. In the Aeneid, Virgil tried to trace Roman beginnings back to Aeneas, Prince of Troy, as the ancestor of one who began the city's thousand year history and "conquered those who had conquered Troy--through his Roman descendants.

Answer 5

The Roman Empire on the time, after they assimilated, the Greek peninsula, was once one in all struggle. As the pronouncing is going: In struggle the inspiration are nonetheless, the Romans had a kind of cultural vaccum. It was once effortlessly crammed, through the now flourishing Greek structure, poetry, art work, masonry and so on. Since the Roman "invason" was once nor a violent one, in line with se, it was once very convenient for the 2 cultures to combine. The extra complex variation caught. (In realistic phrases. )

Answer 6
