The answer is Polybius. He was a Greek historian from the Hellenistic period, known for writing <em>The Histories</em> and being a fervent admirer of the Romans although they repeatedly invaded his homeland (Megalopolis, Arcadia) and beat its armies. Two of the main factors behind his atypical fondness were his understanding of Greece's political problems that made appreciate Roma's ways and his friendship with Romans aristocrats, a link that resulted in him getting preferential treatment when he was taken as hostage.

Here is something that may help, it is an essay I did on  ancient Greece and Rome:
Part 1:

Document 1

<span>If you were male, to be considered a citizen of Athens, you had to be active in the community, you also had many rights and responsibilities.Some of the responsibilities of a male citizen were to participate in either war, debates, or be on a jury.Pericles thought that a man who had no interest in politics shouldn't have the right to be a citizen."...we say he has no business here at all."</span>

Document 2

1. He wanted to have the patients best interest in mind at all times, and for the information regarding their health to be kept confidential for privacy reasons.

2. Now, one exception we have is if the patient is under fourteen, the parents or guardians can see all the patient's medical stuff.

Document 3

<span> As citizens, Roman men had the right to vote.Today in America citizens (both male and female) of age eighteen and older, also  have the right to vote.</span>

Document 4

<span>People have rights that no government can take away.A person must be considered innocent until he or she is proven guilty.</span>

Document 5

<span>Some of the things that early Greek philosophers studied were geology astronomy.They discovered how to make inferences from observation</span>

Document 6

1. They fertilized their soil and used conservation of water for the summer growing season.

2. It is valuable today because it helped influence the way we now farm.

Part 2:

The ways of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures have influenced the way we do things today in so many ways. Citizens of this time had many rights and responsibilities, they could vote and express their feelings on important matters and had other rights that no government could take away. This has influenced our society's way of public rights and equality in decision making. These ancient cultures also had some of the same laws as we do today, everyone has a right to share their side. I was happy to learn that this was in place even at this time in history. 

When studying the medical and agricultural advancements of these ancient civilizations it is fascinating to see how ahead of their time they were. Their confidentiality agreement is still used today, along with the promise of keeping the patients best interest in mind a priority. We  also still use their soil enrichment techniques in our modern agricultural practices. Along with their conservation of water idea.

Another advancement of this time was their astronomical practices. Their study of the stars and solar system has helped us understand it better, along with our technology.

This study has shown us how advanced this ancient culture was, in both technology and recourses. Theses two civilizations have greatly impacted the way we live our lives today. And I think we will still keep rediscovering new ways of doing things that were present at this time. 

Does this help? I love feedback so please tell me what you think. Thanks. (;

Define the term "Renaissance," and explain why that period in Western history is referred to as such. Identify some of the major
Marina CMI [18]

"Renaissance" means rebirth. The term refers to how intellectuals, scientists and artists between the 14th and 16th centuries brought back classic Greece and Roman works and a rationalist thinking.

The term is used to remark the difference between the Renaissance times and its immediate previous period, the Middle Ages, which the users of the term Renaissance believe was dark and unfruitful for critical and scientifical thinking.

Three major figures of the Renaissance were:

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519). He was a painter, scientist, architect, sculptor, botanist and much more. His many interests show why he is so representative of the Renaissance: he wanted to understand the world and the human being in all its possible dimensions, and he tried so by trying to go beyond the knowledge and methods utilized in his time. He left many works of art, like the Mona Lisa (c. 1503), and contributed scientific investigation.

Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). He wrote <em>The Prince</em>, the book that founded political science. In this book, politics operate in a realm of its own, detached from moral and religion, something new by then.  The prince served to the perception that politics was a field of human action, not of divine action.

Michelangelo (1475-1564). He was an architect, painter, and sculptor. He is most known for the ceiling of the St. Peter's Basilica (1546-1564), remembered by the famous painting where God involved in a form of the human brain touches the hand of Adam, and the sculpture <em>Pietá </em>(1499).  He left a legacy of works that influence art until today.
