Modern attitudes to Roman civilization range from the infinitely impressed to
the thorough disgusted. As always, there are the power worshippers, especially
among historians, who are predisposed to admire whatever is strong, who feel
more attracted to the might of Rome than to the subtlety of Greece. At the same
time, there is a solid body of opinion that dislikes Rome. For many, Rome is at
best the imitator and the continuator of Greece on a larger scale. Greek
civilization had quality; Rome, mere quantity. Greece was the inventor;
Rome, the research and development division. Such indeed was the opinion of
some of the more intellectual Romans.” had the Greeks held novelty in such
disdain as we,”asked Horace in his epistle,“what work of ancient date would
now exist?”
