Rome absorved Greek culture when it conquered Greece. Rome conquered Greece with its army and Greece conquered Rome with its culture.
Rome fought Greece and won, so Rome started to rule Greece, but Rome didn't change its rulers. Greece conquered Rome with culture, religion, arts and education. For exemple,
Greek education aimed at becoming a warrior and Roman education was only to study.The art of the Greeks priviliged statues and sculptures and Roman art also included sculptures and paintings. The religion of Rome and Greece was the same, they were both politheist and had many gods, exmples: Afrodite, Zeus, Apolo, Artemis and others. Politheist were people that believed in more than one god. The gods were the same, but with different names.
