Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome are not the same thing, the difference between the two is:

1. The concept is different.

Ancient Greece is not a concept of a country, but rather the designation of a region located in southeastern Europe, northeastern of the Mediterranean Sea, including the Greek peninsula, the archipelago and islands of the Aegean and Ionian Seas, the southwestern coast of Turkey, eastern Italy, and the eastern coast of Sicily.

Ancient Rome was a country. The map was constantly changing with the military expansion of the Roman state. Initially, the geographical scope of ancient Rome was limited to the city of Rome on the Tiber River, and later expanded to the entire Italian peninsula, eventually becoming a great empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa.

2. The time of appearance is different.

The ancient Greek civilization lasted for about 650 years, from 800 BC to 146 BC, and was the most important and direct source of Western civilization.

Ancient Rome refers to the civilization that emerged in the middle of the Italian Peninsula (i.e., the Apennine Peninsula) at the beginning of the 9th century BC, and successively went through three stages: the Roman monarchy (753 BC to 509 BC), the Roman Republic (509 BC 27 BC), and the Roman Empire (27 476 BC to 1453 BC).

3. The impact is different.

Ancient Greek culture, which had a profound impact on later generations; Ancient Roman culture is a continuation of the civilization of ancient Greece.

The ancient Greeks had deep attainments in philosophical thought, poetry, architecture, science, literature, drama, mythology, and many other aspects. After the fall of ancient Greece, it was continued by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the entire Western civilization.

The geographical scope of ancient Greece, in addition to the present-day Greek peninsula, included the entire Aegean region and Macedonia and Thrace to the north, the Apennine Peninsula and Asia Minor.

In the century B.C., especially after the Greco-Persian Wars, economic life was highly prosperous, and a splendid Greek culture was produced, which had a profound impact on later generations.

The ancient Greeks had deep attainments in literature, drama, sculpture, architecture, philosophy, and many other aspects.

After the fall of ancient Greece, this civilizational heritage was destructively perpetuated by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the entire Western civilization.

Summary. Ancient Roman historiography inherited the beautiful narrative style of ancient Greek rhetoric, and created a chronicle style of writing history, Roman historians faced the decline of society and thought about how people can achieve happiness, which was reflected in the creation of historiography, and ancient Greek philosophers established a tradition of critical scientific thinking. They know how to use experimental methods, engage in abstract thinking and inventions.

Ancient Greece adapted to its geographical endowment, stood on the shoulders of the surrounding agricultural civilizations, established a city-state oriented by industry and commerce, and cultivated a new civilization - commercial civilization. These are all things that we should learn from and learn from.

Ancient Roman historiography inherited the beautiful narrative style of ancient Greek rhetoric, and created a unique chronicle style of writing history, Roman historians faced the decline of society and thought about how people can achieve happiness, which was reflected in the creation of historiography, and ancient Greek philosophers established a tradition of implicit criticism of scientific thinking. They know how to use experimental methods, engage in abstract thinking and inventions. Ancient Greece adapted to its geographical endowment, stood on the shoulders of the surrounding agricultural civilizations, established a city-state oriented by industry and commerce, and cultivated a new kind of civilization - commercial civilization.

These are all things that we should learn from and learn from.

Is there anything else? Too little.

And oh, how much do you need.

Ancient Greece was equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Zhan Kingdom, and there were only a few million people in the whole territory, but they all achieved outstanding achievements in astronomy, mathematics, navigation, colonization, philosophy, art and social organization. As one of the world's major ancient civilizations, it has left behind a glorious culture that people still admire. Historiography is one of the great achievements of Greek culture.

From a longitudinal point of view, Greek historiography is an important part of European classical historiography, the beginning of European historiography, and it creates a fine tradition of Western historiography.

600 to 700 words of the kind.

The ancient Greek civilization was mainly the establishment of the Athenian democratic system, which had an abyssal impact on the establishment of the term system, proportional representation system, electoral system and other democratic operations in Western countries after the Huai Reform, until today. Roman civilization was mainly the formulation of Roman law, which provided the blueprint for the formulation of modern Western law and became the precursor of Western law.

There's a lot to do.

Mainly focused on historiography, the separation of ancient Rome and ancient Greece.

Polybius was the last of the Hellenistic and the first great historian of the Roman era, and had a direct influence on later Roman historiography. Polybius's historiography embodies the ancient Greek historiographical tradition and, in particular, successfully develops the basic spirit of Thucydides' historiography. He embodies the influence of Greek on Rome, and is also the epitome of the first exchange between Greek and Roman culture.

History is closely related to memory, and it is recalled that is produced under specific historical conditions. I believe that the study of the development of ancient Greek historiography helps us to touch the trajectory of the development of Western historiography and deepen our understanding of Western gross rent historiography. At the same time, this is also conducive to strengthening our historical theoretical level and cultivation.

The essential characteristic of ancient Greek historiography is the pursuit of historical truth. Restoring the truth about the activities of people in the past and discovering the reasons behind historical phenomena is not only the goal that excellent ancient Greek historians strive to achieve, but also the primary criterion for judging the quality of other people's historiographical works. The modern English word history comes from the Greek word historia.

At the same time, ancient Greece pulled the scope of historical research from the gods back to man, which played a huge role in the emergence and development of humanism in later generations.

Thucydides was the first person in the history of Western historiography to put forward the principle of strict criticism of historical materials, that is, no historical data should be easily trusted, but there must be a rigorous verification process.

Caesar's "Gallic Wars" perfectly combines literature and history, that is, it has both literary beauty and historical truth.

Roman historiography has two distinctive characteristics, one is humanities, the other is pluralism, Roman historiography, like Greek historiography, narrates the process of human development, and pursues the essential goodness of man, which is its soul.
