- The Romans adopted aspects of other cultures by modifying and blending them with their own. This was true of Roman art. The Romans were especially influenced by the art of the Greeks, which inspired historians to coin the term “Greco-Roman” art. The Romans were skilled in creating realistic statues. They imitated Greek sculpture but were particularly good at making their sculptures true to life.

- One legacy of Rome that affects modern society every day is the Roman language, Latin. English speakers use the Latin alphabet, although Roman Latin used 23 letters, and English uses 26. Many English words come from Latin. Additionally, Latin proverbs are still in use.
- Many Romans followed a philosophy known as Stoicism . First developed by the ancient Greeks, this system of thinking was adopted by the ancient Romans and followed until about 200 C.E. Stoics believed that a divine intelligence ruled all of nature and that a person's soul was a spark of this divine intelligence. These individuals believed that the right way to live was in a way that agrees with nature and its laws.
- Another legacy of the Romans was their concept of justice. The Romans believed that nature provides a universal law of justice. Under this natural law, they believed, every person has natural rights. Romans aimed to spread this idea by applying it to all citizens of the empire. Judges in Roman courts attempted to make just, or fair, decisions that respected individual rights.
