The immediately obvious one is that it was the example of the Roman
Republic that had great weight in persuading people that non-Monarchial
government could be an effective system. Numerous examples, from
designating our senior legislative house as "the Senate" (and their
assemblage as a "Congress", come to think of it) to minor things like
Anthony Wayne overcoming the pathological anti-Army feeling by designating
the force he recruited as "the Legion", reinforce this idea.
