Q. What happened to the church in Constantinople?
The church was unfinished when Constantine died in 337, and it was brought to completion by his son and successor Constantius II, who buried his father’s remains there. The church was dedicated to the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and it was the Emperor’s intention to gather relics of all the Apostles in the church.
Q. What religion did these two emperors practice?
Roman religion
Q. Did Romans steal Greek ideas?
The ancient Romans did not “take” or “steal” or “copy” the Greek deities; they syncretized their own deities with the Greek ones and, in some cases, adopted Greek deities into their own pantheon. This was not plagiarism in any sense, but rather simply the way religion in the ancient world worked.
Q. What did Romans borrow from Greece?
From the Greeks, the Romans borrowed or copied ideas on art, literature, religion and architecture. Greek architecture influenced Roman architecture in many ways, such as in the design of domes, rounded arches and columns. The Romans also copied the Greek style in home decorations and sculptures.
Q. What did Rome think of Greece?
The Romans thought that the Greeks were like children and were constantly quarreling – always keeping themselves disunified and being devious liars. They felt that the Greeks lacked order and were in need of the firm hand of a Pater Familias, to quote Rubicon (great book by the way).
Q. Why did Rome copy Greece?
As to the gods, the Romans did not borrow the Greek gods. The Romans and Greeks just happened to worship very similar gods. Once the two cultures were reintroduced to each other, they recognized similarities and identified where their gods matched, but the Roman Pantheon wasn’t a copy of the Greek.
Q. What did we learn from the Romans?
Architecture. From military structures such as forts and walls (including the spectacular Hadrian’s Wall) to engineering feats such as baths and aqueducts, the most obvious impact of the Romans that can still be seen today is their buildings.
Q. Did Rome conquer Greece?
Rome continued its conquest of Greece. The Greeks were finally defeated at the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC. From this point on Greece was ruled by Rome. Despite being ruled by Rome, much of the Greek culture remained the same and had a heavy influence on Roman culture.
