GREAT THANKS!

Cx. to first note, above: "...rather than 'B is overlaid with A'..."

Cx. to second note: ...of the peoples...

More condensed version: The national cultures of the conquered peoples were overlaid onto Rome's own culture,...
Rachel Douglas Apr 22, 2008:
The national cultures of the people conquered by Rome were overlaid onto Rome's own culture, and, through this joining, the phenomenon of a new, previously unknown [non-existent] culture was born. [Or, all present tense, if you prefer.]
Rachel Douglas Apr 22, 2008:
I realize you closed the question, but I'd like to say that I think "merge" is broader than the specific sense of "накладываться". But, the normal English usage is "A is overlaid onto B" rather than "B is overlaid by A". Therefore, I'd suggest (next msg).

the national culture of conquered peoples left its mark on Roman culture

...or "the culture of Rome".

I think the usual translation of "superimposed" for the verb does not work here.

Actually, probably "imposed on by."

Although, it could easily be "subdued," or "oppressed," depending on the context.
