希腊化,还是罗马化——罗马对希腊文化的模仿、调适与创新

Hellenization or Romanization——The imitation,adjustment and innovation of Roman towards Greece

希腊文化深深影响着罗马文化。早在公元前3世纪以前,罗马就直接或间接地受到希腊文化的渗透,公元前3世纪至共和晚期,罗马对希腊文化经历了模仿到调适的过程,帝国时期出现了罗马和希腊文化的融合趋势。不过罗马文化在接触、吸收和借鉴希腊文化的同时,既有罗马的希腊化,更有自身的罗马化特色,形成了自己民族的文化。

Greek culture greatly influences Roman culture.From the 3rd century B.C.to the Roman Empire period,there was a tendency of culture infiltration,imitation,adjustment and integration.While absorbing the Greek culture,Roman culture had its own Romanized characteristics and formed its own nationalistic culture.
