Rome Is born , not casually, in the middle bettween the influence area of Etruscan civilization and of Italia-greek colonies of Capua and Neapolis. First roman culture was deeply influenced byt those ones, even if roots were from other old italics people (Sabinians and Latins) . religion was very similar to Etruscan one, and Roman used "Aruspicina", the art of reading future from examinating the animal sacrificed to gods. Early militar organization was similar to the Greek Oplites. However later, with Empire, institution and custumes were deeply influeced by medio.oriental ones

During what historical period? Early Rome was greatly influenced by Etruscans, as well as by other Italics (the cult of Quirinus, for example, is thought to be borrowed by Romans from the Sabines.) Mature republic was greatly influenced by everything Greek. The late empire imported religions from Persia and Palestine...

Greece initially. After that the Romans assimilated every culture they conquered into their own. But Greece had the overwhelming influence. The Roman Pantheon of gods is a direct ripoff of the Greek Pantheon.

One of the founder's of Rome was supposed to have been the son of a Trojian prince (the one killed by Achilles) who fled the destruction of Troy and arrived in Italy, married a Etrusian princess, and founded Rome. (There are lots of legends)
Roman law, education, government were all influenced in part by Greece.
But by far, I would say Rome had a much greater effect on everyone else than a single country influencing Rome.

The ancient Greek civilization.
There is a saying that goes like this -
"Captive Greece took Rome Captive"
It means that when Rome conquered Greece they were so impressed by everything Greek that it had a huge influence on them.

In my opinion, Greeks and Etruscans; at least if you are speaking of a positive, development kind of influence.
Negative impact would be the ones who conquered them; the Visigoths and Huns, etc.
