Rome's legacy is clearly defined in the modern day with countries like the US taking heavy inspiration from Rome's republican form of government, with three branches forming the country's federal government. Roman architecture is also present in local buildings like the University of Virginia's Rotunda, which is reminiscent of the Pantheon.

The majority of Rome's economy was carried by the vast territories it controlled and agriculture. Almost every item imaginable was exported to Rome, such as gold, silk from Asia, crops from Rome's fertile farmland, textiles, and other materials. Because of Rome's Mediterranean climate, crops grew much more readily there compared to ancient Greece.

Roman laws propagated the idea of equal protection under the law without regards to social class, while Roman society was divided by plebeians (the vast majority of the society), and the wealthy, land-owning patricians. Foreign peoples were also integrated into Roman society after its expansion. Romans imported many goods from its territories and other parts of the world, like beef, glassware, and leather. Roman inventions were mostly taken from other societies, like the arch, which was first found in the Etruscans. Romans also developed the aqueduct, the calendar, and concrete.
