Why Roman and Greek likely to trade and share cultural practices?

The Roman elites became deeply Hellenised (influenced by Greek culture). This is not surprising because all the peoples who came in contact with the Greeks became Hellenised to various decrees. The Roman elites admired Greek art and thought that it was superior. They thought that they could not compete with Greek sculpture and hired Greek sculptors. They also admired Greek literature. Initially, Latin plays were modelled on Greek plays. The Romans also thought that the Greek language was more suited to abstract concepts and better for rhetoric and philosophy. The Roman elites were educated in both Latin and Greek and spoke Greek fluently. The Romans were fascinated by Greek mythology and linked their gods to the Greek gods and their myths. Greek medicine was the beast and the Romans simply adopted it. With regard to trade, Greece and the other Greek states in the eastern Mediterranean became part of the Roman Empire and the Romans fostered the development of trading networks around their empire and beyond.

Was there roman ideas in the renaissance?

Renaissance means rebirth and it refers to the rebirth of interest in the classics (the Greeks and the Romans. Most of the works by the Greeks was lost in western Europe, whereas the Romans were just ignored. In the Italian Renaissance there was a great interest in the Romans and it was thought that there was a lot to learn from them. Many scholars travelled around Europe to find Roman manuscripts which had been transcribed by monks some 400 hundred years earlier. There was a great interest in them. Architecture and sculpture were modelled on that of the Romans. Roman myths were commonly used in painting. Roman rhetoric was taught at school. It could be said that the Italians in the Renaissance were obsessed with the Romans. When Constantinople was conquered by the Turks, many Greek scholars fled to Italy, bringing with them ancient Greek books and knowledge of the ancient Greeks. This spurred interest in the Greeks.
