- The Romans had a myth about how their city was founded. Long ago, the myth says, a princess gave birth to twin sons, Romulus and Remus. The boys' father was Mars, the Roman god of war. Their mother's uncle—the king—was afraid the boys would grow up to take his throne, so he ordered for them to drown the twins in the Tiber River. However, before the twins drowned, a wolf rescued them. When Romulus and Remus grew up, they decided to construct a town on the banks of the Tiber River where the wolf had found and saved them. And so came "Rome", named after Romulus.
- The Greek Influence of Architecture on the Romans
- The Romans became great architects because they learned many techniques about engineering from the Etruscans. Two important Etruscan structures the Romans adapted were the arch and the cuniculus. In time, became even better engineers than the Etruscans.
- the Greek Influence of Writing, Art, and Religion on the Romans
- Romans also adapted Etruscan sporting events, such as slave fighting. Chariot races, and gladiator fights. This is when professionally trained fighters battled either each other or wild animals. Some slaves were forced to become untrained gladiators.
- The Romans used Greek designs in their own creations. Eventually, they learned to use concrete to create even larger structures, such as the Pantheon in Rome. One of the largest structures was The Circus Maximus that could seat more than 200,000 members.
- Doric
- Ionic
- Corinthian
- Many Roman writers were inspired by Greek poetry and myths, and both the Etruscans and the Romans admired Greek pottery, painting, and sculpture. The Romans also adapted many of the Greek gods as their own, but they gave them Roman names.
