    Basically practice >>> theory. That's the crux of the difference, really: romans were improvers rather than idealists.
    The romans didn't really appreciate philosophy as an independent subject, those who did typically just joined greek schools rather than create their own.

    There was no such thing as Roman philosophy until the Christian Romans came about. Until then all "Roman" philosophy was translations or compilations of Greek philosophy like Cicero.

    Roman philosophy involved strict discipline and conquering vast swathes of land.

    Probably the same way with how your picture correlates with your question.

    The Romans didn't really care for philosophy in the same way Greeks did. The closest thing to it was the Mos Maiorum, which was essentially just Roman traditional values. When they really did interact with the Greeks and discovered their philosophical thinking the majority of Romans that cared to latch onto one did so with Stoicism, not because the Romans wanted to explore something new or different from their values. But because Stoicism was so similar to ideals to the Roman Mos Maiorum that it was a great way to not actually have to compromise on their own cultural values and beliefs and they get to pretend like they care about philosophy

    That's not to say that they didn't care however. Cicero is the most obvious example. What is generally regarded as philosophy by most people wasn't the care of the Romans, the Romans had a rather singular view when it came to morality and how to live life. There just never was going to be a great debate amongst the Romans about it since they really all just agreed to the Mos Maiorum and the values it represented. Political and Legal philosophy was a place where the Romans shined, this largely being because of the relationship between the Roman State and the Romans. Rome was always a single state and single power by the time it had left tribalism as the rest of the Latins had been absorbed into the whole. There was no people sharing the same culture as them in the world to really challenge the ideas. So they developed their thinking more in relation to the function and growth of their State rather than moral issues.

      In the end the Romoids paid deeply by enslaving the Graeculi.

        Didn't the Greeks invite the Romans in?

          Greeks on the Italian peninsula asked for help from the homeland to keep the Romans away. After that, it was inevitable that Rome would head east.

    Roman philosophy was a toy for rich educated people. Greek philosophy was guys genuinely trying to come up with rules for why people behave the way they do (and don't)

    Romans were too busy being engineers. They still kept a few greek guys around their libraries in case they wanted to learn a bit of philosophy here and there.
