초록

The Romans began to adopt actively the Greek education after the second century B.C. when they have conquered the Mediterranean world. In accepting the hellenistic civilization, they showed ambivalent attitude, that is, sometimes they accepted it enthusiastically and sometimes they were wary of accepting it. But at last they recognized that they need the Greek learning in order to run the great empire successfully. They found in the subjugated Greek East huge libraries full of massive books, which were outcomes of Greek academic researches. They took the books into the city of Rome and built great libraries in the city. The libraries built since the early part of the second century B.C., contributed greatly to create academic atmosphere and enhance the passion of Romans for Greek education and culture in the city of Rome. The libraries raised the reputation of the city of Rome as a center of learning and education, and played an important role in drawing the intellectuals of Greek East into the city of Rome. The leading Roman elites patronized the intellectuals and supported their academic and educational activities through their literary patronages. This cultural environment contributed greatly to make better the educational conditions in the city of Rome.
