Which should I study first? ... Greece or Rome ...

[Luanne]

Or does it matter which one I do first?

[Lorna]

Chronologically, Greece; the Romans took a great deal from Greek culture.

[Volty]

Greece for sure. The Romans came to glory after the Greeks did and borrowed alot from the Greek culture/civilization. The transition from Greek to Roman is smooth, the other way... I wouln't know how or why to do it that way.

[Arch At Home]

I second Greece. Rome builds upon the developments in Greece.

Or does it matter which one I do first?

For younger children, some suggest doing Rome first and then Greece because studying Greece is a little more abstract (i.e. philosophers). For older students, most tend to go strictly chronological. That would be Greece then Rome.

[Luanne]

I thought that was correct, but wasn't sure.
