Both ancient Greece and ancient Rome are revered for contributing to the development of the world we know today. They were innovative and incredibly influential, but which civilization was better overall? This house believes ancient Greece was better than ancient Rome. Pro Ancient Greece Versus Ancient Rome6“I agree…” Ancient Greece was superior to ancient Rome. First of all, the ancient Romans copied many aspects of ancient Greek culture. Many works of Roman art are actually replicas. According to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, many Roman sculptures are “carefully measured, exact copies of Greek statues, or variants of Greek prototypes adapted to the taste of the Roman patron. Some Roman sculptures are a pastiche of more than one Greek original, and others combine the image of a Greek god or athlete with a Roman portrait head.” In addition, by the second century, the demand for copies of Greek statues was explosive. Furthermore, the origin of democracy lies in ancient Greece. Cleisthenes, often called the “father of Athenian democracy,” established what is generally referred to as the world’s first democracy. Athenian democracy was groundbreaking. Citizens were allowed to speak and vote in the assembly, which set the laws of Athens. Thus, ancient Greece clearly wins over ancient Rome. Con Ancient Greece Versus Ancient Rome10“I disagree…” Although ancient Rome was heavily influenced by ancient Greece, it can’t be beat in terms of overall power. At its height, the Roman Empire spanned 5 million sq. km. It stretched as far as Africa and Asia. The Romans also experienced a 200-year-long period called the Pax Romana, which britannica.com defines as “a state of tranquility throughout the Mediterranean world from the reign of Augustus to the reign of Marcus Aurelius.” During this period, the Roman Empire saw unprecedented peace and economic prosperity. According to thoughtco.com, “It was during this time that monumental structures such as Hadrian’s Wall, Nero’s Domus Aurea, the Flavians’ Colosseum, and Temple of Peace were built. It was also later called the Silver Age of Latin literature. Roman roads traversed the empire, and the Julio-Claudian Emperor Claudius established Ostia as a port city for Italy.” Latin, which the Romans spoke, has also influenced many languages around the world, including English. Isn’t it obvious that ancient Rome was better? Judge’s Comments Which civilization do you prefer, and why? Come up with at least three reasons that weren’t mentioned in this debate to support your opinion. 답변자 ellie 답변일 2020-04-01 답변내용 What’s This About?
