    a wonderful update on the roman influences in Athens , demonstrating clearly that not only did the greeks influence the romans but a vice versa also happened

    the monuments listed in this update are extraordinary and are testament to roman engineering with greek influences and how in sync both cultures were throughout antiquity

    I would recommend this course for anyone with a passion for the greco roman world
