The ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek civilizations are two of the oldest known civilizations in our history. The Egyptian civilization, based in the eastern part of North Africa, is believed to have started around 3150 BC and continued till the end of the Pharaoh rule in 31 BC. The ancient Greek civilization is believed to have been in effect from 1100 BC till about 146 BC. Many similarities and differences existed between these two civilizations, as even though they co-existed during a certain timeframe (1150 BC to 146 BC), they were located in different geographical areas. Because of these differences in geography, both these civilizations were subjected to different kinds of exposure, which included contact with other civilization and cultural inheritance. In the political sphere, we find that the Egyptian civilization had stronger emphasis on central authority, while the Greeks had a more decentralized structure, where powers were distributed over the cities and the states as well. As far as art is concerned, we find that the Egyptians were more involved in creating great monumental and gaudy structures, while the Greeks were more involved in creating smaller, more literary pieces of art.

One of the biggest reasons why these two civilizations had these differences is due to their geography. The Egyptians had easy access to large stones that they could bring in to their country and use them to erect such monumental structures. Many scholars believe that it was their power structure and the lust of large buildings that caused the Egyptians to develop a class system where they had to gather mass laborers to work for them. This can also be attributed to the Egyptians have a very strong bureaucracy and a strictly centralized government system. These differences can also be attributed to the difference in religious beliefs of the two civilizations, as the Egyptians had a very strong believe in the after-life and they built all their large pyramids and structures in order to help their dead find a better life after death. The Greeks lacked such beliefs and this is why their social structure was very different from the Egyptians

In many historical accounts, the Greeks were known for their panel painting, yet none of it survives. Some have hypothesized tha
Alika [10]

The Etruscans were a people that lived in Italy between 8th and 3rd centuries, their greatest legacies are their panel paintings that were located especially in tombs. Etruscans painted scenes with mythological themes and also portrayed everyday life.

The Romans absorbed most of the Etruscans culture, including the paintings. The main difference is that the Romans started to use the paintings as a way of decorating their houses, different than the Etruscans that only painted tombs.

The Romans also changed the painting system by applying the pigment over wet plaster, which fixed the pigment to the wall, because of that they are called frescoes. The Roman painters had different styles depending on the time, first, they were very influenced by the Greek because during that period Rome conquered Greece, later, the painters changed to a more refined style.

Both Etruscans and Romans pictures are very important because they show the culture and the habits of that people and how they saw the world around them, also because we could see the evolution of them and how they culture was mixed with the several conquers of the Romans.
