Greco-Roman Culture

• The Romans conquered (veroverden) the Greeks in 160 bc
• The Romans really respected the Greeks and started copying things from them
• For example: most Roman gods are copies of Greek gods with a different name
• If you were a rich important Roman you learned to speak Greek and you dressed like a Greek (and took a beard, that was Greek fashion)
• The mix of Roman and Greek culture is know as Greco-Roman Culture

Roman Gods

Greek Gods

Romanisation

As we know the Romans conquered a large empire

They took their Greco-Roman culture with them

This is why we still have latin words in our language and see lots of buildings in Roman style

Can you write down 2 words in dutch that have Latin Roots? (hint: they often end in -um)

Copying

People all over the empire start copying the Romans

People in France, Hungary and Syria all start to:

-dress like romans

-speak Latin

-use bathhouses

-build roman style temples

The proce of local people becoming more and more like Romans is called: Romanisation

Is this an example of Romanisation?

1. Yes
2. No

Is this an example of Romanisation? (this picture is taken in Bath, England)

1. Yes
2. No

Why did people Romanise?

The Romans didn't force people to Romanise, they mostly did it of their own free will, mainly because:

• It helped with trade if you spoke Latin.
• The Roman army often gave soldiers land all over the empire, this meant that Romans mixed with locals a lot
• And most importantly, if you were Romanised enough you got civil rights

Civil rights

Dutch: burgerrechten

People in Rome who had civil rights could 

• get a job in the government
• pay less taxes
• profit from the roman legal system (romeinse wetten)

For the Romans this meant that conquered people could become their friends instead of enemies.

Finish the following sentences:
Greco-Roman culture is..
Romanisation is...
Civil rights are.....
