Did the inhabitants of Rome borrow many of their achievements from those who lived overseas and created their colonies in Italy?

These were the ancient Greeks. The Romans borrowed heavily from culture. This can be seen even in the pantheon of gods. For the ancient Greeks, Zeus is the god of thunder and lightning, and for the Romans, Jupiter. The ancient Greeks had Aphrodite the goddess of love, and the Romans had Venus. The ancient Greeks had the god of war, Ares, and the Romans, Mars. Only the names of the gods differed, but their essence was the same. We can say that similar borrowings have occurred in culture.
