The Romans did not owe the ancient Greeks any debts. They never got indebted with the Greeks. The Romans were heavily influenced by the Greeks. They adopted some of their gods (Castor and Pollux, Apollo, Asclepius, and Cybele) and liked their gods to the Greek ones. The first teachers in Rome were Greek and Romans modelled their education on Greek education. The elites were educated in both Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek. They adopted the Greek styles for making columns (Doric, Ionian, and Corinthian), Greek medicine and Greek sports. They also adopted and improved on the Greek cranes and ballistas (crossbow-like catapults). Later Roman sculpture was modelled on the Hellenistic sculpture of the Greeks.
