They adopted Greek sports and the Greek gymnasium. Today we still have Greco-Roman wrestling. They adopted Greek medicine. They adopted Greek cranes and siege machines, and greatly improved on the cranes and the ballista (a catapult). Early Latin tragedy was based on or copied Greek tragedy and early Latin poetry was based on Greek verse. The first professional educators in Rome were Greeks. The Roman elites received an education in both Latin and Greek. The pinnacle of their education was a stay in Greece to study Greek philosophy.
