Question One: Rome and its Openness
What positives and negatives did its openness cause to Ancient
Rome - if any? Referring to our readings and lectures, point out
some specific, concrete ways that its inclusiveness impacted the
state. Did it affect the state in different ways at different times?
YOUR ANSWER; Confusing and badly edited?
Ancient Rome was centered on the city of Rome and is placed
among the most successful imperial powers of the time. The
phenomenal growth of the empire was achieved through strong
political, military and social institutions. Unlike other empires
of the time, Rome practiced an openness policy that allowed
allies and subjects to participate in social and political activities
and granted citizenship to those who adopted a roman lifestyle.
The openness policy had positive outcomes as it allowed the
expansion of the traditional Roman culture through interactions
with allies and the Greek. The mosaic culture was depicted in
literature, art and in architecture. Openness to new ideas and
knowledge allowed the Romans to advance their knowledge of
geometry, geography, astronomy and philosophy (Gilmour,
2012). Opening up also changed the political attitude towards
the subjects to incorporate human virtues of gentleness and
leniency since they were humans. However, openness
contributed to degeneration of ancient Rome traditions, entrance

integrated various vocabularies into their language. In addition,
the garnering of new knowledge from various and multiple

allies and subjects citizenship. However, as the empire
expanded, it came into contact with different cultures and the
dominant Greek culture and started exchanging cultures. With
lapse of time, cultural aspects of Romans started to erode as it
absorbed different cultures into their art, literature and

I Introduction
Rome is one of the oldest cities in the world. Established
sometimes during the eight or seventh century BCE, it became
the capitol of the mightiest empire of the world during its
heyday and the first city in history to have more than one
million residents.
Its first builders were a people called Latins (Latini), one of the
many tribes populating the Italian peninsula. As the city grew
and its Latin leaders conquered more areas and peoples, Rome
emerged into a thoroughly cosmopolitan city, full of Italians,
Greeks, Jews, Africans, Germanic people, Spaniards, and others
throughout its vast empire. It was a hodgepodge of languages

3. and cultures, cultures and religions.
In this unit, we will take a look at Rome and its culture, paying
special attention to its interaction with other regions.
II Origins of Rome
According to the founding myth of the ancient Romans, their
city was born on April 21st, 753 BC, as its founder Romulus
killed his twin brother Remus and began the construction of the
city. In Roman mythology, the twin brothers were raised by a
she-wolf. Later legends associated the twins and other builders
of the city with ancient Trojans of the Iliad-fame (remember
Homer’s epic poem and the story about the war, Trojan horse,
Odysseus, etc.).
The city grew from a modest settlement in the Palatine Hills
into a regional power, through population growth and series of
conquests. The city-state remained a kingdom until 509 BCE,
when the people of Rome expelled their king and turned the
city into a republic: a state ran by senate, selected from the
city’s noble families.
Romans managed to defeat the Etruscans and other tribes of
Central Italy, pushing further to the north and south alike. In
the north, Romans’ main concern were the Gauls, a Celtic tribe
that was trying to expand to Italian peninsula. In the south the
main opponents to Roman expansion were the Greeks: most of
southern Italy and Sicily were controlled by Greek city states
such as Syracuse, Croton, Neapolis, et al.
As Romans defeated the Greeks in the Pyrrhic Wars (280-275
BCE), they gained dominance of most of the southern Italian
peninsula. As a result of both conquest and peaceful
interaction/trade with the Greeks, Romans became aware of a
civilization that far surpassed theirs in artistic and scientific
achievement. Roman civilization became Hellenized.
Part of the Roman success could be explained through their
eagerness to learn from other people. While many conquering
people usually looted what they could carry and destroyed what
they couldn’t, Romans saw and admired the superior buildings
and artwork of the ancient Greeks.

4. Scholarly Romans started studying Greek to learn to read these
smart people’s writings. Noble Roman families bought learned
Greek slaves to teach their children mathematics, literature,
philosophy, and science.
Roman artists were painstakingly imitating Greek sculptors.
Architects copied the pillars and structures of Greek
temples. Greek became the common language among the ruling
classes.
Even Roman religion became a Latinized version of old Greek
myths. They gave new names to Greek gods, but kept many of
the legends largely the same. Greek Zeus became Roman
Jupiter, Aphrodite became Venus, Dionysus Bacchus, Poseidon
Neptune, etc.
By the time Romans had conquered most of the Italian
peninsula, they had developed a culture that was heavily
indebted to Greek civilization, but also one that was eager not
only to conquer, but to learn, evolve, and absorb.
One could make an argument that Romans were capable of
defeating the Greeks because of the Roman openness.
While Greeks viewed everybody else as a barbarian and it was
extremely difficult for an outsider to become a citizen of
Athens, Sparta, or any other Greek city state, Romans were
much more generous in handing out Roman citizenship and
corresponding benefits.
The Roman army, the mightiest military machine of the ancient
era, eventually gave citizenship to anybody who agreed to serve
and signed a contract to become a Roman soldier. After service,
soldiers were rewarded with a pension and a plot of farmland
somewhere in the lands these soldiers had helped to conquer.
In other words, Romans’ perspective was global and inclusive,
while Greeks, as brilliant as they were, had adopted a much
more close-minded, parochial, narrow way to look at the outside
world.
