Roles Of Women In Ancient Greece And Rome

Early Greek and Roman cultures had a high contribution to modern civilization, whether it be the Greeks with their mathematics, astronomy and philosophical foundings, or the Romans’ impact through their legal ideas such as jury, civil rights and contracts.

During the sixth century BCE to the fifth century CE, the Greco-Roman tradition was the dominant religious and intellectual system of the Western world.
