Here were means of unification more potent, more profound than many policies even of all-powerful rulers. Nor does the recital end here. Rome herself became bilingual. Her cul- tivated men, born to Latin speech, were forced to familiarize themselves with Greek, just as the Russian of similar position to-day must learn French or English, if he is not to be cut off from contemporary culture. Th...is spread of Greek in Rome was necessarily followed by the extension of its use farther west. So universal did it become, at least in the metropolis, that we find a learned man like Plutarch, not only put to THE PREPARATION OF THE W^ORLD 151 no inconvenience outside his native Greece by his ignorance of Latin, but even feeling himself so much at home in Rome herself as to be under no compulsion to acquire her mother tongue. The Greeks were giving, not only laws, but also language to the conquerors.
