I know it's a very general question, but overall, which do you think?
I would say Greek civilization. They are unparalleled in the areas of math, science and philosophy in the ancient world.

Hm, a difficult one, since each had their own positives and negatives. But I'd have to go with the Greeks as well for the same reasons as above.

It really depends how you define 'greatest'. I believe the Mongols had the largest empire for example, and then Rome probably had the largest 'civilized' empire.

True, but I don't think waging war and taking over big areas of land makes you particularly "great" - it just makes you a warmonger.
