Answer:
The statement that is not correct is that they maintained colonies all over the world.
Explanation:
The Greeks and Romans were two civilizations of antiquity that shared many cultural characteristics, but also developed in the same region and had many similarities in geography and climate. Both of these civilizations were located in the Mediterranean region, had pretty much the same climate, access to the sea, well-developed trading routes on land and sea.
One thing that is not describing the Greeks and Romans is that they maintained colonies all over the world. The Greeks had many colonies, but they were all located along the Mediterranean Sea and the seas that are part of it, while the Romans were conquering and ruling directly over territories, but not creating colonies. None of these two civilizations managed to create a global empire, nor they had the knowledge of the whole world to even think of something like that.
