Rome Contributions Connections to Today

Greeks contributed -Olympics, we still hold the olympics every 4 years. Countries stop fighting and just go to a compitition like in marical. -Architecture, like the arch on a bridge. Also the White House. -Literature, we still use today and some of their plays are still acted out and well known. -Government, the Greek government was a democracy were certain people can vote. Like today you have to be 18 but back then there were other standards. Also their city states were like our states we have today because they could make rules for that area but the federal government really has a say overall.
