Ancient Greece was composed of independent

city states called polis. They were ruled by rich landowners who were called aristocrats. This system was known as ’oligarchy’, or the rule by the few. Farming was the major source of wealth. Society was made up of free people and slaves. Women were not allowed to participate in public life and took their social status from their fathers or husbands. The only exception was when they were acting as priestesses at temples. Ancient Greeks ate cheese, vegetables, fish, eggs, fruit and bread made of barley or wheat. Boys played different games.

The most valued Roman contribution to

latter day civilized society is its system of law. The basic principles of Roman law are: 1/ precedent as coequal to the letter of law; 2/equity (fairness) is the goal of all law; 3/ interpretation in applying the law to individual cases. (Ph.J. Adler, R.L. Pouwels, World Civilizations, p. 135)
Roman law can be characterized by its flexibility and by its effectiveness in controlling social life.
In 313 the AD Roman Emperor Constantine adopted the Edict of Milan announcing an official toleration of Christianity and that was a critical step for the later developments in European history.
