Introduction
From the many discussions about the ancient Mediterranean, I would prefer living in Rome to Greece. An effective government was critical to the cultural development of Ancient Rome. Among its many goals, the government aimed to improve citizens’ quality of life, protect their rights, maintain public order, ensure national security, and boost the economy.
Discussion
The Roman government provided a variety of high-tech, secure tools to its citizens. This enhanced people’s lives and gave them a reason for hope, even in adversity. Citizens in ancient Rome could provide for their families due to the advanced state of agriculture. They could provide for their families while also increasing output for commercial purposes. Adequate access to food and security in Rome makes it a good place to live and raise a family. However, there are some disadvantages to living in this empire. People throughout the empire frequently lived in extreme poverty, so taxes were quite high. The Roman people placed a high value on education, and as a result, it was difficult to access opportunities. Young people would struggle to secure job opportunities and other positions requiring educational achievements.
There are several differences between Rome and Greece, which highlight the superiority of Rome. In Greek art museums, figures depicting the entire human body were the norm. On the other side, portraits of notable ancient Romans and other people from that era were displayed, as is customary in such establishments. Secondly, because of inept farming, people in ancient Greece sometimes went hungry and needy. Sophisticated farming methods used in ancient Rome enabled citizens to feed their families. Thirdly, women did not have the same legal protections as men in ancient Greece for a long time. On the opposite side, women and men had equal legal protections in ancient Rome for the longest time.
Conclusion
Finally, despite the widespread use of concrete, the Romans were also known for their inventive use of marble, wood, stone, and even mud. These resources were used to develop their cities’ land and marine transportation infrastructures and civil engineering. The Romans advanced state of the art in military weaponry, just as they did in other technological areas.
