Most of Ancient Rome's actions included feeding the entire population and trading grains/crops for food. One of the biggest crop was grapes, which was a key ingredient for wine.
There was a small industrial business that mined, created weapons, and made glassware.
Rome also got many other products from other empires/countries around the world, such as India for spices, China for silk, and Germany for amber gems.
Most Romans were merchants or farmers, both of which trade very often for their profession. This and roads/other revisions made by dictators helped advanced trade in Rome.

Ancient Rome had a very neat governing system. The Senate, a group of mostly 300 patricians, created laws and sometimes spoke for all in the empire/republic.
A dictator (or something lower than that) approved of the Senate's decisions, managed the economy, and kept the people happy with whatever he could do.
The Praetors (modern-day justices) looked over the 12 Tables and gave punishments towards people breaking the law.

In Ancient Rome, Romans had their own literature (The Aeneid, Horace's Odes, etc), architecture (arches, aqueducts, concrete, etc), language (Latin, used in the present), and art (beautiful sculptures and buildings).

The countless amount of figures from Ancient Rome gave us many achievements in government, technology, literature, and economics.
Virgil - Wrote the Aeneid, a very good epic.
Julius Caesar - Made himself dictator and reformed practically all of Rome.
Augustus - initiated the Pax Romana.
Diocletian - set fixed prices for all items and improved the economy.

The society of Ancient Rome was very patriarchal and classist, much like today. Patricians, or rich people, ran most of Rome and had the biggest say in government procedures. Plebeians, or middle-class/poor people, made the majority of the population and were usually farmers or laborers.

The Republic created many justice and governmental laws that we use in modern life.

Some examples include Praetors (modern-day Justices), the 12 Tables (modern-day Constitution), vetoes, citizen laws, "innocent until proven guilty," and the law of property and land.

Over time, the Roman Empire grew to massive size that could barely be contained. Roads for civilians and militaries promoted trade and control.
