I thought about having this thread containing several topics:
Religion: Poland being mostly Roman Catholic having strong connections with the bishop of Rome when it came to religious matters
Politics: From the concept of Polish crown being granted as legitimate by the bishop of Rome and republican traditions that inspired the "Sejm" "rzeczpospolita" and it's relations towards emperors
Culture: Roman sense of honor seem to have been conflicting with Polish women's power and influence in Poland. In Roman tradition it was very much up to the head of the family, the man to decide about the very life of women in his family (especially after being dishonored wether wife or daughter) while communication seem to have been the key in intermarriage among Poles.
Military: The Roman military was adjusted to military expansion through conquest and conquering slaves to secure their economical standpoint. While Poland seem to have used it's military to a far more larger degree to secure political gains, prestige and defense against invaders. (An exception to this was during the wars that Mieszko and Bolesław Chrobry expanded Poland's borders)
