What is the difference between ancient Greek and ancient Roman architecture?

[kosta_karapinotis]

I've noticed so many similarities, but when it comes down to it: what are the differences between the two architecture styles?

The difference is in the pillars! From afar, the pillars look very similar (like in this picture). But the top of the pillars is different. Greek architecture follows the golden rule, which is shape that can be wholly divided into up into a square and a rectangle that, when combined, establish a ratio of 1:1.61.

There are too many differences to count! To the untrained eye, everything looks the same but the architecture is actually quite different.

All Roman architecture is Greek
The Italians are the Chinese of Europe, they copied everything from the Greeks.

The differences are there, even if they're subtle. Even in Ancient Greece, there are different architectural styles that were common during different time periods. It's really hard to generalize!

I reword my statement.
All Roman architecture originated from the Greeks. Is that better?
