When the rustic Romans met the civilized Etruscans, their culture subsumed the Etruscan one so much so that there is little left of the Etruscan influence but their gravesites.
This has also happened in the religious world. For example, there were early Celtic Christians (Culdees) in Ireland dating from when Patrick did his missionary work there. When the Catholic priests from the Roman tradition encountered them, the Celtic Culdees were given the choice to change or be excommunicated.
Historically, Islamic troops forcibly proselytized in Spain and north Africa, spreading Islamic culture and law throughout the Mediterranean lands
