Answer 13

If you're talking about the gods then... They(romans) changed the names of ALL the gods and even took some out when they adopted them from the Greeks. Like Athena. In Greek mythology Athena was the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. In roman mythology Bellona was the goddess of war and they deduced Athena to goddess of arts and crafts-.- D*mn romans. The Roman gods were also much more strict in their everyday life.

Geographic differences- both are Mediterranean countries, similar enough latitudinally for both to grow wine and olives, but with very different terrain. The ancient Greek city-states were separated from each other by hilly countryside and all were near the water. Rome was inland, on one side of the Tiber River, but the Italic tribes (in the boot-shaped peninsula that is now Italy) did not have the natural hilly borders to keep them out of Rome.

Art- Greek art is considered superior to the "merely" imitative or decorative Roman art; indeed much art we think of as Greek is actually a Roman copy of a Greek original. The goal of the classical Greek sculptors was to produce an ideal artistic form, where the goal of Roman artists was to produce realistic portraits, often for decoration. This is obvious oversimplification.

Economy- The economy of ancient cultures, including both Greece and Rome, were based on agriculture. Greeks ideally lived on small self-sufficient wheat-producing farms, but bad agricultural practices made many households incapable of feeding themselves. Big estates took over, producing wine and olive oil, which were also the chief exports of the Romans -- not too surprisingly, given their shared geographical conditions and the popularity of these two necessities.

Government- Originally, kings ruled Athens; then an oligarchy (rule by the few), and then democracy (voting by the citizens). City-states joined together to form leagues that came into conflict, weakening Greece and leading to its conquest by the Macedonian kings and later, the Roman Empire.

Kings also originally governed Rome. Then Rome, observing what was happening elsewhere in the world, eliminated them. It established a mixed Republican form of government, combining elements of democracy, oligarchy, and monarchy, In time, rule by one returned to Rome, but in a new, initially, constitutionally sanctioned form that we know as Roman emperors. The Roman Empire split apart, and, in the West, eventually reverted to small kingdoms.
