Classical history, and indeed Western Civilisation in general, begins in Ancient Greece, and was later spread to more primitive parts of Europe by the Roman Empire. It was a period characterised by great empires, and the growth of philosophy, science, and many different religions. It came to and end with the fall of the Roman Empire.
