Aqueducts were used to transfer water to cities. These aqueducts were canal-like structures that brought water from lakes rivers and other water sources. Aqueducts are still used to day in California. Another piece of technology the Romans used were stone paved roads. These roads were made of concrete and crushed stones and pebbles. The roads connected cities of the Roman Empire. The Romans even built public bathrooms. Bathing in Rome was community activity. Only the wealthy citizens in Rome were able to afford baths in their homes. ]]> 2017-08-29 15:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/183429704 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/183429859 2017-08-29 15:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/183429859 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184107561 2017-08-31 23:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184107561 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184107696 2017-08-31 23:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184107696 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184107932 The Romans built beautiful buildings with domes, arches, columns and open spaces. They built large buildings,  like the Colosseum. The Colosseum was a stadium similar to sports stadiums today. It was used for gladiator fights. Their columns were similar to the Greeks' design. They also had domes at the top of their buildings. These domes were rounded arches made of concrete and put onto the top of buildings.]]> 2017-08-31 23:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184107932 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184108806 2017-08-31 23:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184108806 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184110970 2017-09-01 00:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184110970 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184111136 2017-09-01 00:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184111136 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184111510 2017-09-01 00:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184111510 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184111621 Roman art is architecture, paintings, mosaics and sculptures. Sculpting was the highest form of art, but painting and mosaics were close seconds. Roman sculptures were very similar to Greek sculptures. Romans painted on walls. These wall paintings were used as interior decorations. ]]> 2017-09-01 00:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184111621 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184114959 2017-09-01 00:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184114959 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184115186 2017-09-01 00:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184115186 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184115651 2017-09-01 00:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184115651 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184115772 The Romans were a Republic just like U.S.A.
This means they voted for their leaders. There are three branches of government. They are the  Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The Senate was the executive branch. The  Senate was made up of 300 patricians. The legislative branch was made of two consuls who were selected each year. The judicial branch was made up of praetors who acted as judges]]> 2017-09-01 00:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184115772 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184117033 2017-09-01 01:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184117033 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184117534 2017-09-01 01:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184117534 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184118374 2017-09-01 01:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184118374 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184118662 Onre connection Rome has to the present is technology. Today, we still use aqueducts and roads. For example, the California aqueduct is used today to bring water to Southern California. Roads are used in cities all over the world. Another connection from Rome to the present is we use their government. The United States of America is a repubic just like Rome. We also have the three branches of government. Executive, legislative, and judicial.  A third connection Rome has to the present is architecure. Just like Rome we use domes for all of our capital buildings.]]> 2017-09-01 01:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184118662 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184119757 2017-09-01 01:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184119757 293555 https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184119888 2017-09-01 01:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/293555/7d0wexc5rz7l/wish/184119888
