Well, Alexander the Great was called “great” by the Romans. This means the Romans believed in similar principles as Alexander did. The Romans used similar military tactics as Alexander did like the long poles and the shields "Any society, any nation, is judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; the last, the least, the littlest." This is a quote by Cardinal Roger Mahony in 1998. Civilizations can take and learn all the things that a person of greatness can provide. Civilizations and empires after Alexander the great have used his greatness for ideas in their own civilizations. The romans used things that Alexander the Great came up with. The romans called alexander great because of what he accomplished. Society related upon greatness has many things to do with life today. The way a society looks at greatness within people is determined on what the person did.
