Athens

One of the most important cities of Ancient Rome was Athens. Athens, the Cradle of Western Civilization, was the capital city of Greece and ruled the Attica region when it was built by King Cecrops in the first millennium BC. One of the world's oldest towns dates back to the 11th millennium BC when humans first appeared there. Although it is unknown who claimed ownership of the name originally, this city was also referred to as the City of the Goddess Athena. The residents of this city revere, venerate and worship the goddess Athena.

Throughout the late Republic and the Principate, Athens had a significant role in society. It was renowned for its arts, philosophy, culture, and politics. And it developed and became a hub for young, wealthy Roman men's education. These factors had a significant influence on the European Continent, especially on the Romans. It is still regarded as the hub for cultural, financial, industrial, marine, and economic features.
