Several civilizations had an influence on Roman religion. The largest is probably ancient Greece. Many of the Roman gods have Greek equivalents (ex. Zeus=Jupiter). Another important early influence came from the Etruscans (from the area north of Rome). The third would probably be Egypt.
There are also civilizations that influenced Greek religion, which in turn influenced Roman, like Summerian, but that makes the list longer.
