Who was better the Greeks or the Romans?

Although most people would probaly say the Greeks, the Romans probaly were.
Most people who say Greece are unimformed:
They see movies like 300 and think the Greeks are cool
They find the idea of Sparta as cool
They love Alexander. They don't realise he was Macedonian and that the Greeks refused to call him a Greek.
They think the Eastern Roman Empire/ Byzantine empire was inspired by Ancient Greece. But it was actually based on the Roman Empire.
They don't know that Greek people called themselves Romans and not Greeks up to the 18th century
Most supporters of Greece see people like the Spatans as cool and don't realise what the proper society was like
The Greeks did though make great scientic and philosophical discoveries
The Romans meanwhile:
They were great architects. The Romans made excellent roads and aqueducts and much better buildings.
The Romans were excellent politicians. Romans ran a repubic that lasted 500 years and after that ran system of emperors which lasted 500 years
The Romans actually inspired the Rennaisance a lot more than the Greeks. The Renaissance was actually an attempted rebirth of roman civilsation.
