The Roman road system spanned more than 400,000 km of roads. At one point, the Roman Empire was divided into 113 provinces traversed by 372 great road links. In Gaul alone, no less than 21,000 km of road are said to have been improved, and in Britain at least 4,000 km. Today we use roads to get people around the world.]]> 2018-09-20 03:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283712438 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283713158 http://www.crystalinks.com/romeroads.html]]> 2018-09-20 03:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283713158 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283714110 Classical Greek and Roman architecture made use of five major orders (or styles) of columns, carved from single blocks or created from stacks of massive stone blocks. In ancient Egypt and the Middle east, columns, usually large and circular, were used with great effect to decorate and support massive structures, especially in the absence of arches. Columns may be rectangular, circular, or polygonal in shape; they may taper toward the top or be of uniform diameter. Today we use columns to decorate national monuments such at the White House.]]> 2018-09-20 03:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283714110 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283963326 https://www.britannica.com/technology/column-architecture]]> 2018-09-20 15:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283963326 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283966446 The Roman arch was the foundation of Rome's architectural mastery and massive expanse of building projects across the ancient world.

However, with their technology of unreinforced concrete, masonry, flat roofs and columns, this vision was not possible because the unreinforced concrete or masonry roof could not span large distances without cracking and failure. Masonry and concrete both perform incredibly well in compression but poorly in tension. Today we use domes in monuments such as the capital building of California. ]]> 2018-09-20 15:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283971872 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283980942  http://brewminate.com/origin-and-evolution-of-the-roman-dome/]]> 2018-09-20 15:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/283980942 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284202204 The Romans established a republic, a government in which citizens elected representatives to rule on their behalf.The aristocracy (wealthy class) dominated the early Roman Republic. In Roman society, the aristocrats were known as patricians. The highest positions in the government were held by two consuls, or leaders, who ruled the Roman Republic. A senate composed of patricians elected these consuls. At this time, lower-class citizens, or plebeians, had virtually no say in the government. Today, the U.S. uses a republic so we don't fight in war. ]]> 2018-09-21 02:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284202204 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284203006 http://www.ushistory.org/civ/6a.asp]]> 2018-09-21 02:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284203006 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284203443 The ancient Roman republic had three branches of government. In the beginning, the legislative branch was the Senate, a group made up of 300 citizens from Rome's patrician class, the oldest and wealthiest families of Rome. It was the patricians, tired of obeying the king, who revolted and threw out Tarquinius Superbus. The Senate was the most powerful branch of the Roman republic, and senators held the position for life. The executive branch was made up of two consuls, elected yearly. These two consuls had almost kingly powers, and each could veto, or disapprove of the other's decision. It is quite possible that the idea of two consuls came from Sparta with its two kings. Praetors were part of the judicial branch, they were elected yearly by the people of Rome, and acted as judges. Today we use the executive, legislative, and judicial branch to protect us from harm.]]> 2018-09-21 02:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284203443 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284204207 https://www.penfield.edu/webpages/jgiotto/onlinetextbook.cfm?subpage=1666288]]> 2018-09-21 02:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284204207 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284204387 Laws were voted on by citizens who were members of the assemblies. The laws were enforced by an official called the praetor. The praetor was the second highest ranking official in the Roman republic (after the consuls). The praetor was responsible for the administration of justice. The Vigiles dealt with petty criminals like thieves and runaway slaves.  The people eventually revolted against the leaders and, in 450 BC, some laws were written on stone tablets for everyone to see. These laws became known as the Law of the Twelve Tables. Many of the protections and rights given to people under Roman law only applied to Roman citizens. It was a big deal to be a full Roman citizen. There were even different levels of Roman citizenship, each one having more or less rights than the next. Today laws affect us, because we use laws to protect us ]]> 2018-09-21 02:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284204387 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284205030 https://www.ducksters.com/history/ancient_rome/roman_law.php]]> 2018-09-21 02:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284205030 3156501 https://padlet.com/3156501/1u785d19dyvt/wish/284205461 The Romans most significant contribution to the art of sculpture was realistic portraiture.
