TPO7


Paragraph 5: Rome’s debt to Greece was enormous. The Romans adopted Greek
religion and moral philosophy. In literature, Greek writers were consciously
used as models by their Latin successors. It was absolutely accepted that an
educated Roman should be fluent in Greek. In speculative philosophy and the
sciences, the Romans made virtually no advance on early achievements.

Paragraph 6: Yet it would be wrong to suggest that Rome was somehow a junior
partner in Greco-Roman civilization. The Roman genius was projected into new
spheres—especially into those of law, military organization, administration,
and engineering. Moreover, the tensions that arose within the Roman state
produced literary and artistic sensibilities of the highest order. It was no
accident that many leading Roman soldiers and statesmen were writers of high
caliber.
