"Ancient Rome" refers to the ancient Roman empire, and later "Rome" was just a city. The civilization of ancient Greece was earlier than that of ancient Rome, but it was conquered by ancient Rome. The conquered ancient Greek civilization did not disappear, but gradually influenced the whole ancient Rome with its powerful civilization. It can be said that the civilization after the Roman Republic is the continuation of the ancient Greek civilization. So there was a saying in ancient Rome at that time: "Victory belongs to Rome, and glory belongs to Greece". There has always been a saying in Europe that "victory belongs to France and glory belongs to England" comes from this sentence.

The present "Greece" is not ancient Greece. The territory of ancient Greece is much larger than that of present Greece. In its heyday, ancient Greece once ruled the entire Balkan Peninsula and could resist the powerful Persian Empire. Today's Greece even has a language different from ancient Greek, that is, ancient Greek, and Greek is Greek. Although there are similarities, they are different after all.
