Mainly the language, Gods, and some governing methods. Well, with regard to language, be careful here. Yes there were Greek words which entered the Latin language, but I don't know of any examples where the Greek grammar entered into the Latin grammar. They are related Indo-European languages, to be sure, but I don't believe that the grammar of one influenced the other. Actually, during the Roman expansion the Greeks had a colossal impact on Roman culture. They acquired from Greece knowledge of scientific thought, philosophy, medicine, and geography. Roman writers and orators used Greek history, poetry, drama and oratory as models. Wealthy Romans retained Greek tutors, poets, and philosopher in their households and sent their sons to Athens to study. By the late Republic, educated Romans could speak and read Greek. They influenced much more than languae, gods and some governing methods. They highly influenced art, architecture and especially the influence of Stoicism on the development of Roman law. Theatre also was a big one, originating in Greece; Roman playwrights adopted Greek theatre styles and were influenced by Greek playwrights. So much that roman playwrights started off "remaking" original plays by Greeks. Any ways I'm not undermining your thoughts, just some of my own to add on.
