Roman Genius and Their Achievements

Along with Greeks, the Romans also really had an influence to our modern world. In this post, I will explore the ways in which the Romans did their work and advanced. The first major factor that I want to bring up is surely architecture. The Greeks contained of great engineers that did a lot of work in building and structuring important building aspects. The first major factors would surely be the aqueducts and even bridges, that are, in these days, a necessity of life. The second major factor would probably be the invention of cement. Once again, cement is very important and major in communication and without it, the world would have many problems. The second aspect I am going to look at would be the government and organization. The Romans surely were started with the advance of government by introducing lawyers, judges and courts. Along with this fact, the decision making became more advanced and impartial. Along with this, organization also flourished. There were individual rights and people settled and cooperated in a logical way. To sum this off, the aspect of organization and government was stabled when it came to Rome. The third aspect I will be explaining would be the advance in religion and culture. Although the Romans took many of their literature and culture from the Greeks, they fined tuned it a bit. They arose awareness of education and also referred to that a lot. Education was a huge thing in Rome because they had teachers from Greece come to fulfill the needs of education. Along with religion and culture, comes artisans and beautification. The Romans once again dominated in making a marvelous empire. They established statues, paintings and many more. Although some of the ideas were taken from Greece, you have to give the Romans some credit to. The final factor I wanted to talk about would be the military and territory protection. As we all know, the Romans were one of the strongest armies and were very territorial. If you look at it, they were the base to build upon. They made leaders and separated into legions, which is sort of like the divisions in the police and military. Another factor would be the intensity and how victorious the Romans were. They would never give up and these are the types of aspects the military holds. After all, these are the factors that compose the effect of Romans on the modern world. Without them, life will surely be much more challenging.
