Why were the Romans eventually able to conquer ancient Greece?
The Romans were very good at implementing technologies from neighboring cultures. They were mostly farmers in the beginning, making them a healthy and strong stock. Their aggresive culture, coupled with their strength and technological superiority made them a powerful force. They worked hard to conquer Italy, but when it was time for them to expand, there were no other powers in the world with the resources or military might nearby to defeat them. Once they defeated Carthage, there was no nation nearby or anywhere else in sight that could beat them for a long time. They used their superiority to beat nation after nation in a domino effect. That's why, in my opinion. Some believe it is because of their brutality (they wiped out and enslaved entire peoples without opposition), some believe that the Romans were just more intelligent (not true; their cultural intelligence came from Greece, who didn't amount to much internationally). I hope I helped.
What is likely reason that the Egyptian statue is intact while the Greek statue is missing its head?
In the past when a civilization lost a war the symbols and buildings of the culture were destroyed by the winning party.

It just seems that Greek items are around more because they are large marble statues that are uncovered in digs of historical sites

Why was Constantine important to ancient Greece or rome?
Constantine's effect on ancient Greece adn Rome is limited by the fact that he lived at almost the end of the ancient period. "Ancient" only goes to about AD 600, while it stretches back to the early bronze age (ca 1400 BC) for its beginning. Constantine lived in the fourth century AD.
However his influence on the last two and a half centuries of the ancient world are profound for two reasons. First, he moved the Imperial capitol to Constantinople. This left Rome as a provincial backwater and allowed the Franks to create their own Roman Empire. Some of our modern royal families today can trace their ancestry back to the early Frankish Holy Roman Emperors.
Second, he endorsed Christianity. And the particular brand of Christianity that he chose was his mother's obscure sect of "historists". Helen's sect believed that Jesus was an actual historical character who lived and breathed as a human man walking around sometime before Hadrian obliterated Jerusalem. Pushing this minority sect required official Christians to adopt several absurdities such as the trinity. The logical contradiction that a god can be three people while simultaneously being one person got it's start from Helen's tiny sect of Christianity. The absurdity of Jesus being wholly human and simultaneously wholly divine "without mixture or conflict" led to actual murder. By the end of the fourth century Christians were actually killing each other over words like "homoousion" and "homoiousion".
As if God cares whether Jesus was "one substance with the father" or "likeness of being with the father". "Homoousion" literally means "same as", while "homoiousion" literally means "similar to". What an absurd thing to kill someone for. Constantine's influence started the killing and eventually led to medieval executions like Giordano Bruno and John Hus and Joan of Arc. The definition of "heresy" as a crime is not inherent in any form of Christianity, it comes from politics. This is the direct influence of Constantine who first politicized Christianity.
The Biblical view of heresy is "If a man is a heretic, after the first and second admonition reject him." That would be shunning. The political view of heresy is: it's a crime against the state, execute him.
