Roman Greece

Roman Greece refers to the period when the region of Greece was under Roman control, beginning in the 2nd century BCE. Though Greeks maintained their cultural identity, this era saw the integration of Greek culture with Roman administration and society. Significant cities like Athens and Corinth flourished as centers of art and philosophy, influencing Roman thought. This period also marked a decline in the political independence of Greek city-states, but it enabled the spread of Hellenistic culture throughout the Roman Empire, shaping art, architecture, and education in a way that resonates even today.
