How did Alexander the Great contribute on Rome concerning culture?
Alexander the Great contributed to Roman culture indirectly. His conquest of the Persian Empire (including Egypt) led to the formation of Hellenistic culture and the Hellenistic states. A series of wars between his generals followed his death. This led to the creation of Hellenistic states in the territories he conquered: the kingdom of Pergamon in Western Turkey, the Seleucid Empire in most of the Asian territories and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt. There was also the spread of Hellenistic culture, which was the result of an interaction between Greek culture and the cultures of the conquered peoples. There was also the emergence of Hellenistic sculpture, a new development in Greek sculpture. When the Romans expanded into the western Mediterranean they were influenced by Hellenistic culture. They were also influenced by the two main schools of philosophy of the Hellenistic period: Stoicism and Epicureanism. With contact with Egypt during the civil wars, the Romans were also influenced by the Hellenistic states which had a personality cult of their kings, who were also deified. Julius Caesar pursued a personality cult, which was new in Rome. After is death he was deified, which was also new in Rome. Augustus created the period of rule by emperors which followed the fall of the Roman Republic. He created a personality cult around the figure of the emperor and used Hellenistic sculpture to legitimate and glorify his rule, a practice which was continued by the other emperors. Deifying emperors became a frequent practice.
