Answer

Answer 1

The Romans adopted many aspects of the Greek culture for example pillars such as the Parthenon, even though the Romans also innovated their architectonic movements. In Religion, the Romans adopted many ideas of the Greeks, they remained polytheists but they changed the name of the Gods to names such as Jupiter, Venus, and others. But the Romans were not interested in telling stories as the Greek did, Romans were more connected to rituals. The Greeks also influenced the Romans on painting and sculptures, this is why many historians refer to it as Greco-Roman Art.
