list 10 possible reasons history refers to Greece and Rome as classical civilizations.
1) Ancient Greece was the "cradle" (birthplace or origin) of Western civilisation as we know it today. It was the most classic and old beginning to Western civilisation. 2) Roman civilisation was the first to spread the "Western" culture as we know it across Europe and create the Western world. The Roman civilisation borrowed many ideas form the Hellenistic Greeks. 3)"Classical" often refers to aspects of arts and culture, and Western artistic culture stems from that of the Romans and the Greeks, including fine art. 4) The complex social and cultural establishments created by the Greeks and Romans were later greatly revived and became *the* modern culture of the world, especially since Europe, which revived the culture of the Classical Greeks and Romans, dominated world politics from the 19th Century onwards.
