Whats so great about the roman empire?
What great accomplishments did the Roman empire establish. Like law, engineering, language
The Empire lasted 1101 years
The eastern portion lasted even longer (2078 total years)
The Roman Army was the strongest in the world and came up with the concept of not fighting in a straight line and running at your opponent.
They built aqueducts, roads, baths, walls, theatres, temples, arches, cities, and palaces.
Some of their old roads are even still in use today. So too, some of their great amphitheatres.
They created the alphabet we use today, with the exception of the letter "w"
The Twelve Tables and the Justinian Code set up the basis of a republic and were the first written code of laws. The United States bases their system off this.
Medicine: Huge public health programs including welfare programs for the poor
Literature/Theatre/Art: Satire, which was a loud and rude sort of sarcastic approach to comic theatre, works of literature including Virgil's Aeneid, realistic statues, ornate jewelry, masks, mosaics
Customs, including the use of rings to denote friendship, engagements, and weddings, and the use greenery to decorate during winter holidays, and other holiday customs
Clothing: Socks (called soccus by the ancient Romans) worn by both women and men, all kinds of shoes including the hobnailed shoe that made such a scary racket, worn by the common soldier - along with shoe construction that adjusted for left foot, right foot variance in shape, which made wearing any shoes a lot more comfortable - and a bunch of neat hats.
Games: Many board and ball games including knuckleball (jacks) and hoops
