Roman roads were made out of broken stones, pebbles, cement, and sand. They didn't have many tools to help them build the roads. They didn't have a compass or any machines. They used a tool called a groma that measured things. The person who had the job of using this tool was called a surveyor.
2. The Roman roads were built because they became very wealthy for their trades in Europe. So for trading, they used roads to get to their destination. These roads feature innovations made by romans. 
3. Roman roads were important so that the Roman Army had  a way to move their soldiers and their belongings around the country. Roman Merchants and traders also used these roads to travel to different countries to trade. Wealthy merchants could afford a wagon pulled by horses so the roads were designed so that both wagons could be pulled on both sides of the road. ]]> 2018-09-17 19:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/3074962/ahhj2om26xqr/wish/282579514 3074962 https://padlet.com/3074962/ahhj2om26xqr/wish/282580027 1. The Roman aqueducts were made out stone, brick, and cement. The purpose of making aqueducts were to keep the constant flow of water to supply wealthy households, public bathhouses, cities, and towns. The first roman aqueduct supplied a fountain located in the middle of a cattle-market. 
2. The first Roman Aqueduct was called the Aqua Appia because it was named after Aqua Appia, the creator of the Aqueduct system. It was built in 312 B.C. This helped many of the Romans.
3. The way the Roman Aqueducts worked were that man-made streams conducted water to go downhill from the stream to the cities and towns. The water moved through gravity alone. The aqueducts were very reliable. ]]> 2018-09-17 19:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3074962/ahhj2om26xqr/wish/282580027 3074962 https://padlet.com/3074962/ahhj2om26xqr/wish/282580641 1. Roman Bridges were the first lasting bridges built. They were so strong that they could carry a lot of loads. Roman Bridges were made out of concrete and displayed the famous Roman arches. They were made by ancient romans and were the first to use concrete on bridges.
2. The Roman bridges were important because of the uses of concrete technology. Bridges were created above aqueducts. The Bridges helped the Romans discovered a natural cement called pozzolana and also helped with military campaigns.

The Roman Arch was first used in the Mediterranean world. Mostly in Mesopotamia, Greece, Persia, and Ancient Italy. They used it for underground tunnels and drainage systems. The Etruscans of Tuscany were the ones who really figured out how to use the roman arches. 
2. Like many other Roman achievements, the Roman Arches were made out of stone, brick, and concrete. Romans discovered how to use the arch in the expansion of bridges, aqueducts, and buildings. Without the arch, the roads and aqueducts that crisscrossed from Britain to the MiddleEast wouldn't have been possible. 
3. The Roman Arches helped when roads or pipes needed to cross a valley or river. The Roman Arches also helped The Roman Army cross Europe. It also helped with the the transportation of water that needed a large slope so that water could flow through them naturally.

The Ionic Column was recognized for its scroll and spiral shapes. The Corinthian was recognized for its slender fluted and spiral shapes. 

2. The Roman Columns were made out of stone. The Roman Columns inspired the United States to make the National Capitol Columns in Washington D.C. just like how they inspired the U.S to make a republic, written laws, and senate. 
3. If a column is too long, they'd have to cut or slice the column to make it shorter. Concrete is then poured on it. The foundations of the column is reinforced concrete.

After the overthrown of the king, the Romans couldn't have another king since their last king was a tyrant. Instead of choosing another king, they came up with a republic. This is a form of government where citizens vote for their leaders. The three branches of the Roman Republic were The Senate, The Consuls, and The Assemblies.
2. Rome was divided into two groups: the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were the rich people and the plebeians were the workers. Unfortunately, woman weren't allowed to vote but men of both groups were allowed to vote. 
3. 300 patricians made up Rome's senate. The Senate could pass laws. The council was made up of plebeians which could eventually pass laws to all of Rome also.

The twelve tables were carved on twelve stone tablets. 
2. The idea was that all free citizens had the right to be protected by law. This meant that if they weren't enslaved, they would have the right to be protected by law. The idea of laws passed down and set an example for the Americas and Europe. 
3. A roman law says that a person would be innocent until they were proven guilty. Though, people who were accused of crime could defend themselves in front of a judge. The judge had to think carefully about the evidence given before proving someone innocent or guilty.

The Senate was the group of 300 patricians that helped run the government. The Assemblies were the plebians. 
2. The separation of powers meant that each branch of the government had their own job. For instance, the U.S. president is considered the country's chief executive. He ran the government and the army. This also meant that each branch of government had their own job and they needed to manage it. 
3. The separation of powers in the Roman Republic was that the Consuls ran the government and army. The Senate had the power to pass laws. The Senate could elect a dictator who could control the government and the army. He could rule for six months then he had to give up his power.
