	Of Greeks And Romans by Doug Krieger
		The Greeks, through the uniting of their city-states by Phillip II, the Macedonian, initially bore some resemblance to the militarism of their western counterparts—especially, after Phillip’s son, Alexander the Great, conquered the vast regions of the east.
		A somewhat strange ambivalence of all things Greek initiated the engagement—yet, once the Roman’s got used to it, they became utterly enamored with this “superior civilization” with its literature, arts, sophistication, entertainment, gods and her general pleasures of life.
		Thus, both the Latin and Greek branches of Hellenism came under the political domain of the Roman Empire; and, thusly was Hellenism (i.e., “Greek Culture”) gradually transformed from the original Greek influence to the Roman state and finally to the society of Europe—now, that’s a sweeping picture of what happened, and where we are today.

		This theatre layout and vocabulary formed the basis for the construction of the proscenium theatre, where ballet took form.
		The Greeks also spoke of dancing in their mythology.
		The Romans treated dance in much the same way as the Greeks - it was an activity for everyone until the more "decadent days" of the empire when some individuals with high social status ceased to actively participate in the dances and became some of the first audiences.

	Comparison Between Ancient Greece and Rome
		While the irregular coastline and the mountainous terrain of the Greek peninsula isolated the various Greek city-states from one another, the city of Rome was located in the geographical middle of a generally north-south plain bordered on the east with mountains and on the west by the sea.
		However, the fierce exclusiveness of the Greek city-states from one another, stemming from their geographical isolation, had determined that Greek colonization of the Mediterranean would be an extension of isolated city-states.
		The Roman Empire would last for many centuries, however, and the foundations of its endurance rested upon the extension of the Roman sense of identity to conquered peoples; that is, to "barbarians".

	The Celts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Although classical Greek and Roman writers considered the Celts to be violently insane, warfare was not an organized process of territorial conquest.
		The Romans in trying to explain these gods, however, linked them with Roman gods as did the Romanized Gauls—so we really have no idea as to the Celtic character of these gods and their functions.
		The Romans were beset by rebellions by some Celtic tribes and depredations by the northen Picts—throughout the fourth century, as the Roman empire was strained in every quarter, the Romans slowly lost control of Britain.
