Greece influenced pretty much everything in Rome. Rome was completely, hopelessly, and utterly fascinated by the Greeks. They adopted Greek politics, government, dress, education, a lot of methods of warfare, ship building, trade, architecture, even their Gods, which is kind of wierd that they couldn't even come up with their OWN Gods. Educated Romans were "educated" in Greek, and spoke the language. Rome went as far as to actually taking Greece itself for its own.
Rome didn't "conquer" Greece, they INHALED it!
At least they picked one of the greatest civilizations on earth to completely copy.

Greek influence started very early on in the history of the Romans and (more widely) of central and southern Italy. The Greeks established colonies (settlements) in southern Italy and Sicily in the 8th and 7th century BC. Being a more advanced civilisation, their arrival had a big impact on all the Italic peoples they came in contact with during their archaic (early) period. For example, Etruscan civilisation arose out of trade with and deep influence by these Greeks in what has been called the orientalising period, where the Etruscans adopted Greek motifs for their pottery and Greek architectural styles. The Italic peoples also adopted and adapted the western Greek alphabet to create their own written languages. This included written Etruscan and written Latin (the Romans were Latins). Recent archaeological evidence has shown that the Latins were influenced by the Greeks of Cumae (a Greek city near Naples, just 125 miles south of Rome) as well as the Etruscans in their archaic period.
The Romans started using the books of the Sibyls of Cumae already in the 6th century BC. The Sybils were Greek oracles, some of whom lived in the mentioned Greek city of Cumae. The Romans also adopted the Greek god Apollo, who was an oracular god (the god of the oracles) and built the Temple of Apollo Medicus (the doctor) in in 431 BC. Apollo's son, Asclepius, was also adopted. The Senate was instructed to build a temple in his honour by the Sybils in 293 BC. The Romans also procured a statue of him from Greece. The Romans adopted the Greek twin gods Castor and Pollux and the mythology associated with them by the late 5th century. During the Second Punic War (218-202 BC) they 'imported' Cybele (whom they called Magna Mater, Great Mother) because Sibyls said that with this Rome could defeat Carthage. Later on, the Romans also linked their own gods to the Greek gods and to their associated (Greek) mythologies.
Greek influence on the Romans increased with the conquest of the Greek city of Tarentum (in the heel of Italy) and with the later contact with mainland Greece. Educators from Tarentum went to Rome. This led to the adoption of the Greek model for education in Rome. This led to the emergence of Latin drama and comedy, which were modelled on Greek plays and forms of drama and comedies. The Romans also adopted Greek siege machines, such as siege towers and catapults.
Contact with mainland Greece led to increased Greek influence. The main Greek schools of philosophy of the time (Stoicism and Epicureanism) became popular among the Roman elite. The Romans also adopted the Hellenistic style of sculpture. Greek sports were also adopted.
The Greeks influenced Roman architecture and sculpture and the Roman elites. These received a Greek education and could speak Greek as well as Latin. Some elite men went to Greece to study Greek philosophy. There were Greek libraries as well as Latin libraries. The Roman gods became linked to the Greek ones and Greek myths became incorporated into Roman culture or inserted into Roman myths.
The Latin alphabet (the Romans were Latins) was an adaptation of the western Greek alphabet (see below). Roman architecture and sculpture were based on Greek models. The Roman elites looked up to the Greeks. Their education was in Greek as well as Latin and they were fluent in Greek. Rome's educational system was modelled on that of the Greeks. Some elite men went to Greece to study Greek philosophy. The Romans had Greek libraries as well as Latin libraries. They adopted the Epicurean and the Stoic schools of Greek philosophy. Greek myths became incorporated into Roman culture or inserted into Roman myths. The Romans adopted some Greek gods and Roman gods became linked to the Greek ones.

Etruscan civilisation arose out of trade with and influence by these Greeks in what has been called the orientalising period. Recent archaeological evidence has shown that the archaic Latins were also involved in this process and that there was influence from the Greeks of Cumae (a Greek city near Naples) as well as the Etruscans. In the 6th century BC the Romans started using the books of the Sibylline who were Greek oracles, some of whom lived in Cumae in Italy.
Greek influence on the Romans continued past the archaic period. During the Second Punic War (218-202 BC) they 'imported' Cybele (whom they called Magna Mater, Great Mother) a Greek goddess because the sibylline oracles said that with this Rome could defeat Carthage. The Romans also adopted the Greek god Apollo, who was an oracular god; that is he was the god of the oracles. Influence from the Greeks of mainland Greece increased. By the time the Romans became involved in mainland Greece in the third century BC, the Roman elites had already become Hellenised (absorbed Greek culture).

How did Greek culture influence other cultures?
Other cultures were influenced by ancient Greek culture because they had established so many colonies throughout the Mediterranean Sea. Westerly at least as far as Sicily and the Southern Italian peninsula, Greek colonies came into contact with other cultures. Many of which were not as advanced as the Greeks and by this they were influenced in a positive way. Greeks also expanded into the eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea and came into contact with peoples in Syria, Judea among other nations. Their "Hellenistic" culture brought with them the great philosophers of ancient Greece and methods of government. Greek culture also became an influence because of the Roman empire. In many ways, the conquered Greeks, became a significant influence in ancient Rome. As Rome expanded, it not only brought with them Roman culture but also the Hellenistic culture of Greece.
That the culture of ancient rome influenced the culture of ancient Greece or wasit the other way aroundwhy?
the money arts and politcsAncient Greece's Golden Age far preceded Ancient Rome, so it was definitely Greek influence in Rome and not the other way round. The Roman's adopted many Greek habits and ideas (such as their religion - Roman/Greek religion identical, just different names) for many reasons, but especially because the Greeks were seen as be cultured and civilized, and adoption of Greek customs was to impart this same sense of culture and civilization to the "rough" Roman state.
