The Roman legion maintains many distinctive elements from the Greek phalanx: Tightly-packed, heavily-armored soldiers who used spears and walls of large, overlapping shields. There are differences, however, such as the Romans using tower shields instead of the round ones that the Greeks used, and also a completely different command structure.
The concept of the Roman Republic is also derived from the Greek democracy, albeit in a more abstract form. In Athens anybody who was eligible to vote could vote on any proposal, but in Rome you only vote for the person who represents you and that person then votes on proposals on your behalf.
Perhaps most obviously, the Roman gods are largely renamed versions of the Greek gods. Juno is Zeus, Venus is Aphrodite, etc. There are differences in how they're viewed by their respective cultures, but in general the gods and the stories about them are the same ones.

Why did the Roman's take the Greek's architesuer?
The Romans borrowed (well, maybe took) a lot of ideas from the Greeks. This was because the Greeks were very successful and their ideas and traditions appealed to the Roman people. The Romans took a lot Greek architecture because it was some of the most well engineered and sophisticated in those times. Remember, the Greeks were a lasting civilization and some argue that Rome is almost like the successors to the Greeks. All those Greek styles of architecture were tweaked Roman style to fit their own needs. Basically, why would the Romans want to create a totally new style of architecture when the Greeks have something that is pretty good already? Even the ancients new this: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If the architecture wasn't bad, there was not a need to make another one. Ali Maredia
