Library of Alexandria in Egypt
When Rome had become the dominant power in the Mediterranean, the admiration for Greek
culture was inherited from the Hellenistic kingdoms
Euripides bust - recreated by Rome
Constantine and the Invasion of 300 CE
Serpent Column from Delphi now in Constantinople
Charlemagne (742 - 814) king of the Franks
Holy Roman Empire
