The greek architecture was very widely known at that time and was very popular with its structure and itscolumns. Since Greece is close to Rome (Italy) then the influence was rapid. South of Messina in Sicily was a greek town of Syracuse. This proves the fact that the greeks were in Italy. Also the language and writing also influenced Rome. For example the greek letter Alpha looks like and sounds like a roman "A" and in English is pronounced the same way :)
Greeks and Etruscans
Undoubtably the Greeks. Once Rome made contact with Magna Gracia they completley adopted their culture.
Rome was Roman. The Greeks were Greeks.
Rome's influence on democracy was directly borrowed from the Greeks in the sense that citizens voted. Rome's influence on government covers a wide range of issues. Most of what we consider personal rights were initiated by the Romans.
There are no political or social legacies form Rome. The legacy form the Greeks is the idea of democracy.
In her early days Rome was influenced by the Sabines, the Etruscans and the Greeks. The influenced of the former two soon waned. Greek influence persisted and increased.
The Greeks had a longer lasting and deeper influence than the Etruscans. The Etruscans had an influence in the archaic (early days) of Rome's history. Then their civilisation decayed and disappeared. They became latinised. Greek colonists (settlers) migrated to southern Italy in the 7th century BC. They were a more advanced civilisation and they had a big impact on the Italic peoples they came into contact with. The Etruscan civilisation arose from trade with and influence by these Greeks. The Etruscans adopted and adapted Greek art and architecture and the western Greek alphabet. Their civilisation was Greco-Etruscan. Archaeological evidence has shown that Latin cities in the early days were influenced both by the Etruscans and the Greeks of Cumae, a city near Naples. During this period, these Greeks were archaic Greeks. Their civilisation developed further into what has been called the classical civilisation. In the later classical period the Roman elite looked up the Greeks. They received a Greek education and spoke Greek. There were both Latin and Greek libraries in Rome. The Romans absorbed many Greek myths and some Greek gods. They linked their gods to the Greek ones. They adopted Greek sculptural and architectural models. Some Roman elite men were influenced by Epicureanism or Stoicism, two Greek schools of philosophy. Some of them went to Greece to study philosophy.
Early Rome was influenced by two of her neighbours, the Sabines and the Etruscans, and by the Greeks who lived in southern Italy. Over time the influence of the Sabines and the Etruscans faded, while that of the Greeks increased.
Ancient Rome in its early days was influenced by the Sabines, the Etruscans and the Greeks. The influence of the former two then faded, whilst Greek influence increased.
There is Rome, Greeks,India, China, and Egyptians still influence us today with their religions, culture, and etc.
In its archaic (early) period, The Romans were influenced by the Sabine, the Etruscans and the Greeks. The influence of the former two then faded, while that of the Greeks increased.
