but Roman architecture was heavily influenced by greek culture (more they changed less than they kept the same for the most part) and wouldn't be possible without greek technology. Greek mathematics and philosophy still influence the world today. The Romans took their culture from other cultures and mixed them up they didn't really bring much new to the table.

Greek

Etruscan

Roman

The Greeks had their temples collumned on all 4 sides, and you can enter from all 4 sides.

Etruscans only had it in the front, and you only had steps on the front

Romans are similar, one step on the front, 3 sides of collumns.

 

ROMAN Technology.

It was that mix of cultures that the Romans spread on, and has been the inspiration from maniacs like Mussolini and Hitler, to the founding fathers of the United States.
