The Classical World

The Classical World refers to the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, which thrived from around the 8th century BCE to the 5th century CE. This period is marked by significant advancements in philosophy, art, politics, and science. The Greeks introduced democracy, theater, and foundational philosophical thought through figures like Plato and Aristotle.
