The Romans were deeply influenced by the Greeks. They adopted some of their gods and many of their myths and linked their gods to the Greek ones. They also adopted the Greek architectural styles for temples and porticoes. Their statues were modelled on those of the Greeks. Hence the term Greco-Roman art. They adopted Geek sports and the Greek gymnasium and Greek medicine. They adopted Greek siege machines and cranes. They greatly improved these cranes and the balista (a catapult).
