As far as I know there was never a Austrian presence in either Rome or Greece. Well, okay, the Holy Roman Empire, but that was German right? Anyway, take a trip around Vienna and you will see wall to wall neo-classical architecture.

It's called culture. When people see something somewhere else that they like, they either steal it (if it isn't nailed down) or go home and copy it.
