A. Rome conquered Greece, Greece conquered Rome culturally.

Explanation:

Greece became a Roman protectorate in 146 a. C. and the Aegean islands were added to this territory in 133 BCE, and it became a Roman Province in 27 BCE.  

This province was fundamental in the development and culture of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, since Roman culture was closely related to Hellenic culture, to the point that we can speak of a Greek-Roman culture. The Greek language served as a Frankish language in the East and Italy, and many Greek intellectuals, such as Galen, developed most of their work in Rome.

Several emperors improved Greek cities with new constructions, especially in the Agora of Athens. Under the Roman Empire life in Greece continued as it always had been. Roman culture was greatly influenced by the Greeks, mainly in the fields of literature, philosophy, mythology, arts, architecture, politics, and military, among many other fields. Homer's epics inspired Virgil's Aeneid, and authors like Seneca wrote in Greek style. The Roman nobles, who paradoxically saw the Greeks as backward and insignificant, were the main political opponents of Roman heroes such as Scipio the African, who used to study philosophy and saw Greek culture and science as an example to follow.
