Greece never ruled Rome. Although there were Greek cities in Sicily and there were Greek colonies in southern Italy called Magna Grecia, the Greeks were never dominant and Rome overcame and absorbed them.
146 BC was actually the year of the Romans conquest of mainland Greece. In 148 BC the Romans defeated the Kingdom of Macedon, the largest and dominant state in Greece, in the Fourth Macedonian War. In 146 BC they annexed Macedon and turned it into a province of the Roman Empire. In the same year the city-states of the Achaean League fought the Romans. They lost and the whole of mainland Greece was annexed into the Roman Empire.
As for the Greek city-states in mainland Italy, they were conquered by the Romans after the Pyrrhic War (280-275 BC). All but one of the Greek city-states in Sicily were conquered by Rome in the First Punic War (264-241 BC) which was fought in Sicily between the Carthaginians and the Romans. Syracuse, the last independent Greek city-state in Sicily, was conquered by the Romans in 212 BC.
