from about 500 B.C.E. - 400 C.E. We tend to lump ancient Greece and Rome together because the Romans adopted many aspects of Greek culture when they conquered the areas of Europe under Greek control (circa 145 - 30 B.C.E.).

Greek roads go in different directions. Roman roads all lead back to city of Rome.

Greece was split into city states and often fought one another and only unified to ward off invaders. Rome was a unified City and later Empire.

No problem, I had to do the same thing.

Answer 13

So are ancient greece's gods the same as the roman gods, or were they different?

Answer 14

Pretty much. The main difference is that they were named after the planets. However Rome later converted to monotheism, which is worship of one god, when they accepted Christianity as their religion. That happened when Emperor Constantine came to power, because he was a Christian.
