There is not one specific city which exerted Greek influence in Rome. This influence started very early in the history of Rome, even before Rome had contact with mainland Greece. Between the 8th and 6th century BC the Greeks established many towns in southern Italy and Sicily. These towns influenced all the Italic peoples they came into contact with, including the Latins (the Romans were Latins) and the Etruscans. The Greek cities which probably had most influence were Cumae, near Naples (only about 125 miles south of Rome), Syracuse, in Sicily (It was the second largest city in the Greek world), Taras (later called Tarentum by the Romans), the biggest Greek city in the mainland, .and Croton, which was noted for its philosophers. Corinth and Athens, in the Greek mainland, were heavily involved in trade with Italy and sold large quantities of Corinthian pottery to Italic peoples in this early period. Later in history. Athens, Pergamon (in western Turkey) and Alexandria (in Egypt) were the Greek cities which had the greatest influence in Rome

Why was the fall of Roman a factor int eh decline of the influence of Greek culture?
No it was not. Greek culture persisted. What fell was the western part of the Roman Empire which crumbled under the weight of the Germanic invasions. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. This part of the empire was centred on Greece and became Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 140 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. Because of this historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire for the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by emperor Constantine the Great in 330. Constantinople continued to be the capital during the Byzantine period.
