Well, one way to look at is Greek is spoken by about 5Million people worldwide!. Ancient Egyptian, other than some ritual in the Coptic Church is dead!. Latin evolved into French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian!. Its influence is also felt to a limited degree in Slavic languages and English!.
That's several hundred million people who speak languages directly derived from Roman influence!.
Modern European and US law are derived from Roman concepts, as is the idea of a Republic = "Res Publica"!.
Militarily, the Roman Empire ideas of regular pay, a retirement system, professional officers/warrant officers, unit loyalty are still prevalent today!.
