Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the presence of Greek colonies on the Lower Peninsula, the Romans adopted many of the Greek gods as their own. Religion and myth became one. Under this Greek influence, the Roman gods became more anthropomorphic – with the human characteristics of jealousy, love, hate, etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Etruscan arches rested on two pillars. A cuniculus was a long underground trench used to irrigate land, drain swamps, and carry water to their cities. The Romans adapted both of these structures, using arches to build bridges, stadiums and using a cuniculus to build aqueducts.
Detailed explanation-3: -They buried their dead underground in elaborately decorated tombs. Both cremation and inhumation were used, although cremation seems to be older than inhumation.
