The Roman Debt to Greece

[Q Rutilius]

Thank you for the kind words Lyceum and Caeclius, especially now that I go back and read my post I realize that I did not express myself very well. The main point I was trying to make was that there are aspects to Roman religion like the numina that have no counterpoint in Greek religion. I beleive it is Cornell (I do not have my library handy at the moment) that talks about nexum, and as far as I know there is no Greek equivalent for that either. These are just examples that show that there are aspects of Roman culture that have nothing to do with Greece. It seems logical to assume that there must be others. Did the Romans accept much of Greek culture? Sure they did. But as Lyceum said, it may best if we took a second look at commonly accepted theory.
