Rome and Greece were both active war zones. Greece had civil wars where Greek city-states would fight among each other, for example Athens and Sparta. Rome fought the armies of the Phoenician city Carthage. Government for both Rome and Greece were almost similar, because they were both under the rule of a tyrant, although the tyrants for the different nations would rule different. Social classes weren't much different from one another either. The rich and powerful were always at the top while the poorer would be lower on the pyramid, and woman would always be thought of as inferior to the male species. Both nations were become more religiously involved. Both nations believed in a god and how god tied in with everything around them. Religion was not they only thing that the nations were similar in. Intellectually both nations were become more involved with sciences, and began to questioned things.
