Try to picture San Francisco during the 1840's. The "Gold Rush' days with all the grubby, primitive, opportunity seekers. Dirt streets, relative lawlessness, dog eat dog, but with much promise.

Now compare that image with what is today's architecturally dazzling San Francisco. Refined, culturally superior. The "Kingdom of Snoot." Considered by many the world over to be our most cosmopolitan and beautiful city, in the bay at the Pacific Ocean. The difference between "Ancient" Greece and "Classical" Greece is very similar, relative to modern times.

I hope my comparison offers clear way to "see" the difference in your mind's eye.

What do rome and Greece have in common?

Ancient Greece and ancient Rome were both similar and different in many ways. For starters, they both had similar art and architecture. But Greece made their art and architecture more ornate and fancy. The Romans also used an alphabet similar to the Greeks. It was slightly changed, but Greek none the less. Another thing that the Romans had in common with Greece was their gods. Pretty much all the Roman gods were based off of the Greeks. Hope this helped. :D
