David l answered this question very well and fully. But the one aspect of Roman life that i think has most impact on us today is their system of government by senate and elections, which we have greatly refined, as they themselves inherited and refined the democratic government of Greece.

They enslaved many Greeks and made them teachers of their children.), and they were superior warriors.
