WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -The Mediterranean sea influenced ancient Greece by allowing for travel across the whole Mediterranean, providing a trade route for The Grecian people, and by creating peninsulas for city-states to settle on.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Romans called it Mare Magnum (’Great Sea’) or Mare Internum (’Internal Sea’) and, starting with the Roman Empire, Mare Nostrum (’Our Sea’). The term Mare Mediterrāneum appears later: Solinus apparently used this in the 3rd century, but the earliest extant witness to it is in the 6th century, in Isidore of Seville.
