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.

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. Not to mention that it was easier than making up their own!
