Most of the “Greek” scholars of the later part of the “Hellenistic” era of science were Roman citizens, came from all over the Empire (not just the Greek speaking parts), and natively spoke a variety of languages. Some of them moved to Alexandria or Athens, but others remained in Rome or elsewhere. It is (at best) oversimplified to put this as “Romans” in opposition to “Greeks”. What is fair to say is that the Greek language remained the common "language of science", just as Arabic was the common language of science throughout the Islamic world (even for e.g. Persians), Latin was the common language of science in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, or English is the common language of science today. You wouldn’t say that “the English were opposed to science unlike the Latins Edmund Gunter, Thomas Harriot, Edmond Halley, Isaac Newton, et al.”.
