How would someone re word this? 20 ! this indebtedness to greece was even recognized by the writers themselves. horace, one of the poets of the golden age of roman literature wrote that greece introduced the arts "into a backward latium." historian nigel rodgers in his roman empire wrote that greek authors originated many philosophical and political concepts that influenced such romans as cicero, seneca, boethius, catullus, and virgil - "a greek and roman synthesis" (258). he added that rome could not and did not deny that greece was more refined and superior in both intellectual and cultural pursuits from technology and philosophy to poetry and sculpture. in reality, rome could hardly deny a closeness to greece since greek cities had existed on both the lower peninsula and sicily for decades.

Even the writers noticed their indebtedness to Greece. One of the poets, who was named Horace and has been recognized in the Golden Age of Roman Literature, stated that Greece interpreted the arts "into a backward Latium." Nigel Rodgers, a historian, said that authors from Greece made many political and philosophical concepts that influenced many Romans, such as Boethius, Catullus, Cicero, Seneca and Virgil. "A Greek and Roman synthesis," he wrote. He also implied that Rome did and could not deny that other places were inferior compared to Greece, in both intellectual and cultural pursuits, from technology and philosophy to sculpture and poetry. Really, Rome had to accept that a closeness to Greece had existed of both Sicily and the lower peninsula for many years.
