What strikes you as more advanced, early 19th century america or 3rd century Rome?

Question

Because Rome had sewers and plumbing unrivaled in america till the late 19th century, not to mention gigantic bath/spa/gym combos and stadiums, all of which were usually free, and lot's of other stuff!
It seems only recently have people placed as much emphasis on entertainment/leisure structures as the Romans did, and our welfare system still usually doesn't give out completely free food all that often! What do you think?

Also, I think the Circus Maximus still holds the record as the largest stadium ever built!

Answer 1

Probably the Romans. But to give credit to the people of the 1800's Howe invented the sewing machine, Sir Humphry Davy invented the first electric light bulb, Thomas
Davenport invented the first electric street car, Henry Bell invented the first Steamboat, and other inventions such as the saftey pin, the reaper for crops, the first lawn mower.........these are all things the Romans did not have. As far as being "in the know" , the 1800's exceeded in producing and inventing things, to enable themselves rather than sit in a huge bathtub!
