The Roman's wanted to be like the greeks and that's why they copied everything like the greek gods and other things but the problem with copying it's that you can't copy something you don't understand (the idea)

@@emmanouilachladiotis5272 Romans didn't copy Greeks, Romans were descendants of Greeks, that's why almost everything were like Greece. But there are also differences: 1. Roman weapons were far more superior than Greek weapons. 2. Rome was an one republic/empire, while Greece had city states. 3. Greece was far more superior to the Rome in terms of science, geography mathematics, art & philosophy.

​@@Desertfox18 i agree that the romans were hellenes.we know from irodotos who say exactly that but in the ancinet world the most powerful weapon was the sarisa from macedonian phalanx not the gladius and greek ancient machines from all greek word.

These are the names of the 7( 8 ) kings of Rome. Romulus,(Titus Tatius), Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Marcius, Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius, Tarquinius Superbus. Romulus =Troian origin , Titus Tatius = sabine from Lacedemonian origin ,Numa Pompilius =sabine from Lacedemonian origin ,Tarquinius Priscus =Etruscan from paternal corinthian Doric origin ,Tarquinius Superbus granson of Tarquinius Priscus . Every attempt to dissociate Rome and Roman empire from Greek influence is doomed to failure. The granting of citizenship to allies and the conquered was a vital step in the process of Romanization. This step was one of the most effective political tools and (at that point in history) original political ideas. Previously Alexander the Great had tried to "mingle" his Greeks with the Persians, Egyptians, Syrians, etc. in order to assimilate the people of the conquered Persian Empire, but after his death this policy was largely ignored by his successors. The idea was not to assimilate, but to turn a defeated and potentially rebellious enemy (or their sons) into Roman citizens. Instead of having to wait for the unavoidable revolt of a conquered people (a tribe or a city-state) like Sparta and the conquered Helots, Rome tried to make those under its rule feel that they had a stake in the system.

@@user-qm8gh3eo1u The legions were far more superior than phalanx who were outdated, Roman Empire conquered almost all the know world and lived for 2.200 years, Greeks conquered Persian Empire for 5 years (Alexander the Great), and after that Greeks just splitted up into small city-states. You can't compare the power and the Empire of Rome with the greek one, of course greeks are important in the history but Romans were just on another level. Rome had a solid Empire who lived for millenia and created the nowadays Western Civilization, the other Empires doesn't.

agreed. macedon was greek as far as I'm concerned.

​@@jessefisher1809 Yes, Macedonians were Greek tribe. But even if they weren't, this period was the epitome of the Greek civilization in all aspects from art, trade and science to military.

@@archaeaoris900 Well if they weren't a greek tribe then history would not have played out how it did so how could you know that?

@@archaeaoris900 besides I already said I agreed with your statement so I'm really not sure what you're trying to say?

Homer's Odyssesy & Illiad !!😮 No mention there of Virgil 6:15

How does it feel to have 6000yrs of history

Actually the name of Greece in Chinese sounds like "Ksi La" or "He La" (希腊), which I can't express it exactly in English letters but sounds like Hellas. China prefers to call countries by the pronunciations of how they refer to themselves.

I'm glad I could help!

Actually they fell victims to the kingdom of pella macedon as much as the persians did it wasn't a peaceful unification.But given the fact what followed was the single greatest cultural,scientific and technological revolution period in all of history I'd say it was a necessary evil.

@@Neat_profile The Unification of Japan by the Tokugawa Shogunate was not a peaceful unification either. What difference would it make ? No unification of Greece would be peaceful whether it was Macedon, Athens or Thebes that became the leading Greek power. In fact all the in-fighting between the Greek states was to make sure that no other Greek state became the Ruling power of Greece.

No way

@@daladoc No way what???

@@daladoc if you don't believe us then Google it and you don't have to read the hole site and it's also 1 of the first sites that pops you immediately

🤣👍

Nah, that ones still going on

USA is a few liberal elections from falling

I legit didn't realize this was a joke for a second...

And it starts by the US trans their kids 🇨🇳

Thank you! It means a lot! :)

they died around 2000bc. the bronze age and ancient greeks were not related. the modern greeks are not related to either of them.

@@HandsomeStranger1963 I disagree because the Classical Era Greeks often referenced the Bronze Age Greeks in their philosophical teachings. Herodotas, Plato, Socrates and the doctor Hippocrates knew who the Myceneans and Minoans were. They knew the battle of Troy was real even though Achilles was part of mythology. King Minos of Crete was one of the first great Bronze Age Greek kings. The ordinary citizens didn't have that knowledge when they encountered the old ruins. The Spartans, Athenians, Macedonians etc all claimed heritage from the Myceneans and the older Minoans.

read the renaissance as towhy egyptions have 'greek' names. thye may have quoted them but pilfering from the great library is just one more fake accomplishment.

and here you are quoting people you have never met. tell me in what way they referenced the Egyptian greeks? yes the great library....

@@HandsomeStranger1963 Actually, they were much more closely related than previously thought. Close enough to be considered the same nation. Recent genetic research has revealed their racial connections. According to the DNA analysis, the Minoans were related to the Mycenaeans, and the latter civilization was already accepted as an early Hellenic culture.

Thanks for the input!

...from which we are still the unwitting victims.

One can argue the Roman period cemented Hellenistic culture and preserved its legacy in the ensuing centuries. As an ancient Mediterranean history buff, I never really considered Roman hegemony over the Greek world as a true 'end' to Greek Civilization barring its political impetus abroad. _Græcia capta ferum victorem cepit_ "Captive Greece conquered her savage victor" - Horace

nah dude, it fell when it stopped being top dog in the world, dont act like you know everything

The Greek 'mother city-states' would disagree with you. Hammond summarizes the changes that came with the rise of Macedonia. Philip, he states, offered the Greeks a new type of freedom; the freedom to cooperate with one another. He saw this as a golden opportunity for the Greeks, who had for years been destroying themselves from within. But he also concludes, "But the freedom the Greeks had enjoyed for a thousand years, that had come to an end." (not verbatim) According to many of the stories of Greek heroes, their tragedy rested in the fact that the very thing that made them successful also led to their eventual downfall. Character as fate. So fitting then, that the very thing that made the Greeks in their small states successful, would in time bring them to ruin.

Bro who is killing who

@@gamer_boiii3528 get your facts straight

@@gamer_boiii3528 Have you ever opened a history book?

@@christostragas8643 have you heard real history and not this fake history created by you and your artificial state? Alexander was not a so called greek. Aristoteles learns him the so called "greek" language. If i speak german, means this i am german? If i speak english, i am English? Alexander was Illyrian and not a so called "Greek"🤦.

@@IllyricumSacrum do I really need to reply to this..? Who told you that this was my claim?? Aristotle - that's how it's in English (Αριστοτέλης in greek) - was born in Chalkidiki when the region was an Athenian colony! He was welcomed in Athens and studied among the greatest minds of greek intellectuals like Socrates and Plato! He was raised by, and honoured, the Hellenic customs and prepared Alexander the Great to unite all the city states of Hellas under the Macedonian rule. I consider him a greek not by the language that he spoke but by the fact that his actions did so! If that's not enough for you, ok! We agree that we disagree! 😊

Tbh every civilisation fought each other until their destined doomed. For example central asians like Turks

Bro today's greeks have nothing in common with ancient greeks. It is widely believed that almost all greeks were gone when slavs migrated in balkans. What is even more interesting greeks and albanians seem to share a very similiar dna.

@@altinkamberi4395 That theory goes back to a thesis written by an 18th century Tyrolean traveller called Fallmerayer. Who theorised that Greeks have become slavicised. This theory is of course torn to shreds today by anthropology, autosomal DNA and Y-DNA. This proves that the Greeks are highly differentiated genetically from SLavs and Albanians, and that Greek DNA is the most similar to that of Southern ITalians and Tuscans. Indeed the latest DNA studies confirm that modern Greeks are not only descendants of the classical Greeks but also of the Bronze age Mycenaeans of Homer's Trojan war.

@@altinkamberi4395 Hope this helps.

@@altinkamberi4395 I know an Albanian woman who knows history as she has studied and says also that they were part of Greece, the illyrian. An albanian said it. Not a greek. And also greek say so of course. Just saying,so you don't think i just say this because I m greek myself.

Anticent greek no exist. Are just ilirians or albania people

I challenge you to read Byzantine texts.

@@wodzisaww.5500 Me too. Read Julian (emperor), Zosimus, Libanius, "Codex Justinianus" and you'll get a taste.

We are already levels above that level

@@ntf5211 Ancient Greece might be good for it's time but seriously modern life is alot more better than what happened there. Although modern life so sucks so is ancient life

Thousand of years ago

What is a "modern civilization"?

And indian vedic civilization is root of Greek civilization

Mesopotamian civilization has left the chat

@@aktheking9841 that’s completely false. It’s off topic to a laughable stage. Indian and Greek civilizations are day and night. Lol

@@dbetaki8846 that's not false and that truth at large extent

macedonian gathering of informaion. history is history. the greek myth is not.

the ancients did not have encylopaedias

@@HandsomeStranger1963 Go and troll somewhere else

they did not need heavily armed expeditions . all was rome you little pratt.

@@HandsomeStranger1963 xd in your dreams you slav kiddo

Greece fell after ancient Rome conquered the various city-states and demolished the city of Corinth.

@@History.Simplified Ys, but Greece is always alive in the hearts and minds of every real Hellene.

@@History.Simplified romans just adopted Greek culture and even though it was under the Roman Empire there were to parts of the Roman Empire east and west. The east were Greek speaking and later Greek Orthodox and lasted 1000 years after Rome fell

Lol...never fell.. After they fell.. no more Greece even till this day ..unless you live Olive's

@@antonioantonio3250 come on bro Roman adopted Greek culture and with Greeks they built that empire and later divided it with west and east Latin and Greek www.history.com/news/where-did-the-word-barbarian-come-from

Greece wasn't destroyed, it was just absorbed in the Roman Empire, In 330 BC Greece unified and changed from a loose confederation of Hellenic states to unified Imperial Greece with Macedon as the leading Greek state.

Do you contend that the Bible ... any version ... is accurate history ?

Like there is no idol worship in christianity 😂

No it was Phoenician

And Roman or “Graeco-Roman” isn’t Greek???... the last peak of Greek civilization was Rome not Macedon

@@DivineHellas I suppose we say the same thing. Let me change my statement

in your dreams maybe you dont even know history

On macedonian language it is not "Greek" but Grk or Grci ( plural ) which means tart people ! Mayority of today's Greeks are Mavro Grekos ( Guptian new comers ) !

@@voskreglavincevska3651 Macedonian language is only Greek not slav like your country

Wrong! The "other nations on the planet" you mean only refers to the countries in Europe, North Africa and West Asia. They make up only a fifth to a quarter of the world's population European: To the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome; Vietnam, South Korea, North Korea, Japan and other countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia: Our "Greece" and "Rome" not only still exist, but is also big and strong. In fact, once China ceases to exist, these countries will all declare themselves the legitimate successors of China, just as the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire did in the past.
