For starters, language. English is derived from Old French, which is derived from Latin. Many of our everyday words come from Latin.

Christmas. Yes, Christmas was once a Roman holiday, called Saturnalia. It was converted into a Christian holiday a while later to help convert Pagans to the new religion.

Names. We still have lots of Latin names. Marcus, Albus, Selena, Roxanne, Cornelia...

Drinking parties. We got the idea from the Romans.
