The Romans played a large role in the spread of Christianity in Europe. The Romans advanced civilization paved the way for democratic ideals.
A lot of the Roman ideals and beliefs were taken from the Ancient Greeks. For example, the Roman gods are the same as the Greek gods, just with different names.
Since the Romans had a tendency to absorb foreign ideals in an attempt to keep rebellion away, Roman myths could and did take place all over their controlled lands.
They saw it as a mirror image of their own religion and adopted many of their gods, only giving them Roman names. An important factor in this was that at the time of Rome's ascendancy , Greek colonies were established all over southern Italy and Sicily. So it was only natural that very early in its development Rome encountered and adopted many aspects of Greek religion.
Ancient Greece was more reflective of the philosophy of direct democracy -APEX Hope this helps:)
