CULTURE
Greeks occupied the southern shoreline of the Greek Peninsula called Attica. Attica was composed of rocky soil. The poor soil could not sustain very much. It could barely support grapes, olive trees, sheep, and goats. Because of this they stayed near the coast.
Athens and Rome allowed some male citizens to take part in government. At the time most other places were ruled by a single person. This new type of republic lasted about 170 years in Athens and 480 in Rome.

CULTURE (CONTINUED)
The Romans were more productive on the western side of the Italian Peninsula. They built their city inland. This protected them from naval attacks. Early Romans grew wheat, barley, oats, rye, grapes, and olives.
