What are some of the ways that the Romans adopted and adapted Greek art and artistic principles? (i need 4 different ways)

The Latin
poet Horace famously said "Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit ("Captive Greece
captured her crude conqueror"). This line is intended to reflect the reality that although
Rome was a great military power and managed to conquer Greece. Culturally, however, Greek ideas

had Greek slaves raising their children and says that these children actually spoke Greek better
than Latin. Immediately after the conquest, the Romans looted Greece and brought back numerous
artistic works as well as slaves.
