Rome was more unscrupulous, forceful, more cruel (kidnapping foreigners, slavery, and non-war slaughter of people), and actually constantly at it, trying to prop up their empire while people were revolting and trying to gain independence!. On moral grounds, Rome failed thoroughly while Greece was a successful civilization!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Even if you only go from the date of the first Olympics to the death of Cleopatra, the ending of "Ancient" Greece, that is a period of over 700 years!. How is this a failure!?

But Greek civilization goes back even further than the stories of the Argo Voyage, Heracles, and Oedipus, which is 1600 years BCE!.

I do not consider this a failure!. They simply began and ended at different periods!. The Roman empire does not go back that far, not as a civilization!.
