Essential Question

 Summarize the works of Roman literary figures, historians, and philosophers.  Describe the art and architecture developed by the Romans.  Understand how the Romans applied science and mathematics for practical use.  Explain how Rome’s legal codes protected everyone in the empire.

Through war and conquest, Roman generals carried the achievements of Roman civilization to distant lands.  Yet the civilization that developed was NOT simply Roman.  It blended Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman achievements.

In early days, Roman culture was influenced by the Greek and Hellenistic (Persian Empire) cultures. Rome continued to borrow from Greek culture after it absorbed Greece into the Empire. Thus the name “Greco-Roman”…and were not just talking about wrestling!  Art  Literature  Philosophy  Science Horace “Greece has conquered her rude conqueror”.

His poem Aeneid (uhh-knee-id) tried to show Rome’s past was as heroic as that of Greece. How? Linked his work to Homer’s by explaining how Aeneas (uhh-knee-us) escaped Troy to found Rome. Purpose? Written after years of civil war, when Augustus came to power, in the hopes it would arouse patriotism and unite Rome.

The area around the Bay of Naples was colonized by the Greeks as early as the 8th century BCE. Naples was called Neapolis meaning “new city” in Greek. By the second century BCE, the excellent climate, topography and spectacular views of the sea of the area attracted vacationing Romans — senators, other prominent citizens, and later the Imperial family. The Romans built lavish seaside retreats, called villas, along the bay in the shadow of the volcano where they could enjoy uninterrupted leisure, read and write, exercise, contemplate their gardens and the views, and engage in conversation with…
