Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the extensive influence of Hellenistic culture on the Roman Empire, especially during the beginning of the Common Era. The author explores how Greek traditions, philosophies, art, engineering, literature, and cuisine shaped Roman life and persisted long after Rome's expansion into Greece. Key to this discussion is the author's contention that Rome's fervent adoption of Greek culture and refinement was not merely a matter of superficial fashion, but rather a profound transformation that indelibly altered the course of Western Civilization. The author argues that while Rome conquered Greece militarily, Greece conquered Rome intellectually and culturally. Furthermore, this book not only reveals the surprising extent to which Roman culture was shaped by that of Greece, but also illuminates the intriguing, complex, and vital relationship between these two extraordinary civilizations.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book considers how the influence of Greek culture and philosophy evolved alongside the religious and social development of Roman civilization. The author, an expert in ancient civilizations, shows how Roman society began to adopt and adapt elements of Greek culture in the third century BCE after decades of conflict over control of the Mediterranean. Over time, important concepts taken from Greek thought came to define central tenets of Roman culture and philosophical approaches. Especially significant was the influence of Greek Mystery religions, which espoused the idea of an afterlife. After gaining popularity in Greece, these ideas led to the development of similar beliefs in Rome which ultimately helped shape the spread of Christianity. This influence extends beyond religious philosophy; the author examines how the arts flourished with the adoption of Greek culture and artistic styles and how prominent figures in Roman society and culture became avid collectors of Greek art and literature. Combining etymological analysis of words reflecting cultural adoption with detailed historical accounts, this book provides a fascinating overview of the relationship between two monumental civilizations.
