# Greece # ## Facts: ## During New Testament times, Greece was a province in the Roman Empire. * Like the modern-day country of Greece, it was located on a peninsula that is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, and Ionian Sea. * The apostle Paul visited several cities in Greece and established churches in the cities of Corinth, Thessalonica, and Phillipi and probably others. * People who are from Greece are called "Greeks" and their language is "Greek." People from other Roman provinces also spoke Greek, including many Jews. * Sometimes the term "Greek" is used to refer to a Gentile.
