I must have gone to school in a different time; our world history class pointed out that Roman law was based on Greek law after the Roman's conquered Greece. Even my college history classes made sure to point this out, and it is still often pointed out on t.v. programs that trace where the founding fathers of the u.s. got many of their lofty ideals, and any programs that talk bout the founding of the Roman empire.
Guess this is just my roundabout way to say that more people are aware of this than the article in the op gives credit for.
