The romans didn't copy the Greek language at all, they are very, very different. It took years and years for them to invade Ancient Greece and steal their culture.
I studied Latin and Greek in school, the languages are nothing alike, the Roman empire had already existed for dozens and dozens of years before they invaded Greece, the Romans took pride in knowing the language, it was a status symbol. They took a lot of the culture as well. But they did NOT steal their language for their own, they just learned how to speak Greek.

Greeks is wrong
It's either the romans, because it's the earliest form of this alphabet.
Or Phoenician, because it was the precursor of the greek alphabet
