Graeco-Roman culture

Graeco-Roman culture refers to the blending of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, which significantly influenced Western art, philosophy, governance, and architecture. It involves Greek ideas of democracy, artistic styles, and scientific inquiry, combined with Roman innovations like law, engineering, and imperial organization. This synthesis shaped concepts of individualism, civic responsibility, and cultural achievements that continue to impact modern society. The culture flourished from around the 8th century BCE through the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century CE, laying foundational values and institutions for European and Western cultures.
