Greece was not a unified state. There were kingdoms and independent city states in mainland Greece and Greek kingdoms in Western Turkey, in Syria and in Egypt. The first Roman victory over a Greek state was in the First Macedonian War (214-205 BC) where Rome defeated the kingdom of Macedon, the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece.

By 44 B.C. (or B.C.E.), Greece had already been under Roman control for over 100 years. It still served as an occasional battleground. For instance, the Battle of Pharsalus occurred in 48 B.C.E. between Roman legions under the control of Julius Caesar and a mixed force of Romans and allied troops (with support from sympathetic Greeks) commanded by Pompey. Taking place in central Greece, it resulted in a victory for Caesar; however, it was a short-lived triumph as, just four years later, in 44 B.C.E., Caesar was assassinated in the Roman Senate.
Greece was strongest when city-states banded together.

Yes, the Roman Empire did conquer Greece.
During the Punic Wars, ancient Rome was still a "republic". With that noted, its expansion by the end of the first Punic War began the creation of its "empire". Based on the Roman victory over Carthage, Sicily became the Roman republic's first province.

Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory, especially worshiped by victorious soldiers. Unlike her Greek equivalent, Nike, she wasn't celebrated for athletic victory, but victory in battle. Many statues and temples of her were raised all over Rome in order to win her favor in wars.
