Yes, everybody stole from everybody. To the conqueror goes the spoils. The Roman appetite for Greek & Egyptian art & plunder is well documented. And some of the best Roman sculptures are Roman copies of ancient Greek pieces that are lost to time. The collectors of the 19th & 20th Centuries - the Grand Tour nouveau riche like Getty - were just the last in a long line.
