We may have advanced technologically and scientifically, but when it comes to raw intelligence we have progressed no further than the Greeks and the Romans. When it comes to business and strategy, Greece and Rome could well be called the “Mothers of Invention”. Ancient Greeks and Romans were as industrious in business as they were in warfare, construction, science, oratory, technology, philosophy, literature and art. They created sophisticated systems for law, trade, supplies and distribution. And during this period, we encounter the likes of Euclid, Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Herodotus, Euripides, Archimedes – world-famous thinkers that shaped society forever.
