Rome/Greece

[Virot Maglan]

I'm preparing for my midterm coming up soon, and I'm studying up on the contributions to today's society from Rome and Greece and how Greece had a major impact on the Roman Empire/Republic. I can't really find any good information on this so I was hoping that I could get some feedback from the UM people =D. Anything usefull will be appreciated!

The Romans were the result of the combining of the Samites, Sabines, Latins, Siculs,Osci, Etruscans and many other tribes, some who didn't even speak a Indo-European language.

I always considered the Romans good scavengers. Their building skills and part of their religion came from the Greeks. Their weapons from the Celts and Iberians. Their horsemanship and equines from North Africa and the Persians. Medicines and medical tools from the Celts and Egyptians. Shipbuilding skills from the Phoenicians and Greeks, many different skills in Metalworking from the Thracians (after invading them for their mines). Various gods from the Celts.

I also blame the Romans for bringing the disease of "Imperialism" to other Europeans. That "disease" is what caused European explorers and settlers to act the way they did towards indigenous populations in the Americas and Africa. EDIT:

All this can easely be debunked with a good degree in roman history
