The Romans largely took over the Greeks' 'pantheon' (assembly) of Gods and based their theories on rhetoric and philosophy on the earlier Greek philosophers.
So basically the Greeks were the major influence on Roman 'thinking'. Add to that the fact that every noble family had its boys - the future leaders of Rome - raised by Greek tutors, and that every educated Roman had Greek as his second language.

What city reflects a Greek influence in Roman empire?
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

How did the Greeks impact an influence rome?
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.

For example the greek letter Alpha looks like and sounds like a roman "A" and in English is pronounced the same way :)
