Rome Republic/Socity Acceptence Of Confusium Between 500-100BC?

A question for a idea and would go in the ISOT if done, but how open would Rome be to the preaching of Confucius preaching or some of the philosophy of Confusioum? Now stuff like the Mandate of Heaven and such I could see not being really accepted, for that implies ruler under a king and Romans utterly rejected that. But I could see a good number of his ethical thought either interesting Romans or being easily compatible with a similar Roman version.
