Roads for civilians and militaries promoted trade and control.]]> 2020-02-22 17:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449008459 jdft4 https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449009219 The Republic created many justice and governmental laws that we use in modern life.

Some examples include Praetors (modern-day Justices), the 12 Tables (modern-day Constitution), vetoes, citizen laws, "innocent until proven guilty," and the law of property and land.]]> 2020-02-22 17:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449009219 jdft4 https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449011613 The society of Ancient Rome was very patriarchal and classist, much like today. Patricians, or rich people, ran most of Rome and had the biggest say in government procedures. Plebeians, or middle-class/poor people, made the majority of the population and were usually farmers or laborers.]]> 2020-02-22 18:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449011613 jdft4 https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449528362 The countless amount of figures from Ancient Rome gave us many achievements in government, technology, literature, and economics.
Virgil - Wrote the Aeneid, a very good epic.
Julius Caesar - Made himself dictator and reformed practically all of Rome.
Augustus - initiated the Pax Romana.
Diocletian - set fixed prices for all items and improved the economy.]]> 2020-02-24 15:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449528362 jdft4 https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449606771 The areas of science, technology, culture, and warfare greatly benefited from Ancient Rome.
- They created concrete, aqueducts (arches), and plumbing.
- They created magnificent buildings like the Colloseum.
- They created sanitation and surgery tools for the future.
- Created their own architecture, literature, calendar, and language.
- Created many original strategies for troops, invested the best armor/defense for them, and trained them to the best of their ability.

The Senate, a group of mostly 300 patricians, created laws and sometimes spoke for all in the empire/republic.
A dictator (or something lower than that) approved of the Senate's decisions, managed the economy, and kept the people happy with whatever he could do.
The Praetors (modern-day justices) looked over the 12 Tables and gave punishments towards people breaking the law.]]> 2020-02-25 04:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449919477 jdft4 https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449921167 Most of Ancient Rome's actions included feeding the entire population and trading grains/crops for food. One of the biggest crop was grapes, which was a key ingredient for wine.
There was a small industrial business that mined, created weapons, and made glassware.
Rome also got many other products from other empires/countries around the world, such as India for spices, China for silk, and Germany for amber gems.
Most Romans were merchants or farmers, both of which trade very often for their profession. This and roads/other revisions made by dictators helped advanced trade in Rome.]]> 2020-02-25 04:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449921167 jdft4 https://padlet.com/jdft4/lwpmv1auzh7n/wish/449922838 Ancient Rome's astonishing achievements can be seen all around us wherever we go.
