Best Answer

because they both lick cock

wow. That was a mature answer was it not?? Anywho, Greek and Roman architecture were similar in that they both used coumns. The only difference was that the Romans added the arch and dome. Also, the Greeks built facilities such as the ampitheater. The Romans were more upscale seeing as they built the Coloseum of Rome.

Both of those answers suck. The question wasn't 'how Greek and Roman architecture were similar' , it was 'WHY Greek and Roman architecture were similar.'

They both use nearly the same kinds of rocks and materials, and they are carved nearly the same. Same as temples. But some of the carvings and those things have some meanings. So I am sure that those stuff are different.
