The Rise of Rome and Absorption of Greek Culture

It contrasts the civilizations of the Romans and Greeks, highlighting the Greeks' innovations and the transmission of Greek culture to Italy, where the Romans absorbed and integrated it. The chapter also discusses social mobility in Rome, class struggles in the classical world, the role of slaves in society, and Rome's ability to assimilate with others as key factors in their empire-building success.
