Great Greek Doric Temples were left standing when the Romans occupied Greek Cities and redevelopment was carried out in a Greek Style. This makes separating Ancient Greek architecture from Roman architecture difficult. The Romans occupied the Greek cities of Magna Greca in present and southern city as well as all the Greek City States of the Eastern Mediterranean. This makes dividing Classical Antiquity into Greek separate from Roman impossible. Much of the Greek sculpture of Classical Antiquity only exists as Roman copies of earlier Greek originals. The Romans loved Greek culture and when they eventually conquered all of the Mediterranean they spread Greco-Roman art and architecture that is familiar to all of us today. Hellenic historic art spread to other cultures around the Mediterranean and its influences can be found in Etruscan and Lycian historic art.

Classical Antiquity started when the city states of the Eastern Mediterranean, in particular the Greek City States, grew in power and turned art, architecture, writing and philosophy into high culture. Of course its influence is still with us today as can be seen in the Greco-Roman collections of every major art museum and in the neo-classical fronts of public buildings throughout the Western World. Classical Antiquity stated in about the 8th century BC with the anarchic era and ended around the 5th century AD when the western Roman Empire collapsed.
