Bridges were created after the wonders of arches were discovered. With the discovery of the arch bridge, they made them all over Europe, Asia, and many other places, and made over 900 of them! 
They even used arches for buildings and other things too.]]> 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629416 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629417 An ancient Roman aqueduct was made to transport water from a river or stream to the cities. Due to the large amount of growth of the Roman Republic/Empire, the issue was water, because transportation of water would be crucial to live throughout all of Rome. Water was used for various reasons, like manufacturing, keeping out waste, agriculture, etc. Rome had to give water to all of Rome, which was about 1,000,000 people.  ]]> 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629417 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629418 The Romans first adopted roads to travel around with hundreds of kilometers apart of cities. The Romans built over 120,000 km of roads during the empire. It was created by digging a straight path between each city, and then creating big stones shortly apart from each other. After that, they would fill up the remaining spots with small pebbles. ]]> 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629418 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629419 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629419 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629420 The Roman Colosseum is still one of the grandest theatrical stadiums in the world. The Colosseum was built like a bowl so many could sit among it's outer rings and edges. It was made like a type of amphitheater and to distract the poor from the poverty.

It was a very symbolic place and had a hole on the top of the dome. This brings in the sun and "tells the time." Also, if it rains, it also has a drain on the top in case it rains. It has the structure that the USA has used for countless of important building, including the Lincoln Memorial. ]]> 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629421 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629422 A Basilica is a court of law that persecutes the criminals.

This had three classes. The Patricians, Plebeians, and slaves. Patricians were the wealthy side of Rome. They had great housing, food, and had slaves. The Plebeians were not wealthy, but were people like craftsmen, merchants, or tradesmen. They were given Roman citizen rights so they could go and vote. Slaves are what they are. Slaves that are owned by Patricians. ]]> 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629424 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629425 The Patricians are made of  different classes themselves.

They were taken care of deeply because these represented the God, and were protected. Sculptures were meant to be very realistic in who are what the actual figure looked like, or what they thought they looked like. Any Citizen could have one of themselves f they could afford it themselves.

Today, for engineering, us today see bridges everywhere we go; on highways, small ones over streams, Or ones that are as long as the Golden Gate bridge. Roads are everywhere today, and aqueducts today are just the water system and sewage. Architecture Today is highly based on the Romans, where there are amphitheaters, like the Colosseum. The Pantheon, which is basically the Churches but more than those. A Basilica is just a meeting board, jury, court, or a normal meeting hall. Our Government is just like the Romans where they have classification, like us; Lower minorities, working people, higher workers (Scientists, Doctor, etc), then the very high like politicians, Senate, House of Representatives, and the President. We also have Higher class, like the government people, like Senate, judges, and we are a democracy like them-ish. In retrospect we are just like the Romans in way. The Romans influences a lot on us today. ]]> 2017-09-07 17:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185629433 kathy_walker1 https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185631388 2017-09-07 17:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kathy_walker1/flkozgd0qu82/wish/185631388
