Yes the reason is this, the greeks had a wonderful civilisation, but they went on as if the only thing existed was Greece, they fought eachother. City vs City. Sparta as you know was the most powerful city state, only had an army of 10 000 strong:P and when the Romans came with their 100 000 men armies that relied on Greek strategy and weaponry and armor, they were supirior. The Romans however had deep respect for the greeks. Hence the culture copying:P
The native language of the Romans was Latin, an Italic language the grammar of which relies little on word order, conveying meaning through a system of affixes attached to word stems. Its alphabet was based on the Etruscan alphabet,
which was in turn based on the Greek alphabetthats writingAs contact with the Greeks increased, the
old Roman gods became increasingly associated with Greek gods. Thus, Jupiter was perceived to be the same deity as Zeus,
Mars became associated with Ares, and Neptune with Poseidon. The Roman gods also assumed the attributes and mythologies of these Greek gods.
thats religion:PRoman painting styles show
Greek influences, and surviving examples are primarily frescoes used to adorn the walls and ceilings of country villas.
Ancient Rome boasted the most impressive technological feats of its day, using many advancements that would be lost in the Middle Ages and not be rivaled again until the 19th and 20th centuries. But though adept at adopting and synthesizing other cultures' technologies, the Roman civilization was not especially innovative or progressive.
Many practical Roman innovations were adopted from earlier Greek designs.
TechnologyDuring the Roman Republic,
it remained stylistically almost identical to Greek architecture.ArchitectureThe early Roman army (c. 500 BC) was, like those of other contemporary city-states
influenced by Greek civilization, a citizen militia which practiced
hoplite tactics. It was small (the population of free males of military age was then about 9,000) and organized in five classes (in parallel to the comitia centuriata, the body of citizens organized politically), with three providing hoplites and two providing light infantry. The early Roman army was tactically limited and its stance during this period was essentially defensive. // like the phalanx for example, = Greeeeeeeeeek
