They borrowed the ideas of societies they conquered. They conquered other people too, not just the Greeks. The Romans took all these new ideas, applied them to fit their lifestyles, culture, military, and government. They also added to these ideas and helped to make the ideas better.

Both the Etruscans and the Romans admired Greek pottery, painting, and sculpture. The Romans got some Greek ideas from Etruscan art. They borrowed others directly from the Greeks. Greek pottery was valued throughout the Mediterranean world for its usefulness and beauty.
