the money arts and politcsAncient Greece's Golden Age far preceded ancient Rome, so it was definitely Greek influence in Rome and not the other way round. The Roman's adopted many Greek habits and ideas (such as their religion - Roman/Greek religion identical, just different names) for many reasons, but especially because the Greeks were seen as be cultured and civilized, and adoption of Greek customs was to impart this same sense of culture and civilization to the "rough" Roman state. Not to mention that it was easier than making up their own!

Greeks also expanded into the eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea and came into contact with peoples in Syria, Judea among other nations.
