lots of the architectual achievements of the Romans nonetheless have a capability on us today. They outfitted the skyscrapers of the classic worldwide and a great style of of their achievements have been with the aid of Arch. Like in St. Louis the Arch became invented in historical Rome and Greece and the technologies became lost till the Renessaince. Thats one thousand years of lost technologies! The Roman gladiators didnt have plenty impression on us today different than the Olympic video games and the entire thought of one on one try against. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that the Colosium (sry bout the spelling) became in certainty the 1st stadium or dome. wish this helped!

They invented concrete (called cement in the US), and their engineering skills are legendary. They modified the direct democracy of the Greeks (every citizen had the right to participate in government) to a representative form (every citizen had the right to vote in government elections). The Romance family of languages (Italian, Spanish, French etc) are all related through Latin - you could say they helped you speak English!
They invented the Roman Catholic Church, and spread it throughout their empire...

Roads, plumbing, aquiducts, the calendar, concrete in the baby stage which later on we refined it better,
and they had a Senate part of their Government.
I hope this helped....
