2.The long straight roads built by the Romans were very strong and were built to be able to conquer other nations.   
3. The roads were also built to make transportation easier and to make it easier to find a location that you want to go to.

2.The aqueducts were used to transport water to the city of Rome and all of the other cities in the Roman empire.
3.Aqueducts are something that a lot of places use because it is a very easy way to transport water. ]]> 2018-09-17 23:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/282634057 3066892 https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/282634191 1. The bridges in Rome were very strong and stable, which shows why they have been standing for centuries.
2.The bridges were made with arches so the support beams that were holding them up would stay strong.
3. The roman citizens also came up with an unbelievably strong mix of materials to use as concrete, that is also why the bridges and other building they made are still standing. (volcano ash was a big ingredient because the ash would prevent cracks from spreading.)]]> 2018-09-17 23:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/282634191 3066892 https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283107621 1. The arches in Rome are very strong, which is why the roman citizens used arches in a lot of their buildings because the arches were  great bases for buildings.
2.Arches are still being used today for gate ways, houses, and buildings.
3. The roman citizens also liked to build arches because of their look, and the arches were very easy to use in their plans from bridges to homes to aqueducts.

2.Columns weren't only used for decoration but, they were used to help support buildings.
3.As shown in the photo, columns weren't only used for buildings as for they were used for open spaces like outdoor malls as well.]]> 2018-09-18 18:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283108000 3066892 https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283108364 1.The dome is a very well known area of a building, it is a half of a sphere that is on top of a building. 
2.Like the legislative branch building, an igloo normally has a dome shaped look to it.
3.The Pantheon (the building in the photo) has a dome on top of it and it was the building that inspired the United States of America to build some of their official government buildings like it.]]> 2018-09-18 18:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283108364 3066892 https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283577366 1.There were twelve main laws that the roman citizens had to follow in order to be safe.
2. One of the laws was called being innocent until proven guilty, which means that someone who got in federal trouble was innocent until the judge got enough information to prove that the criminal was guilty.
3. Equal treatment was a law that was obviously very hard for the roman citizens to follow because, a lot of rich citizens owned slaves and some citizen wouldn't treat women with equality.]]> 2018-09-19 18:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283577366 3066892 https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283580325 1. One of the three branches of government is called the legislative branch, this big group of people helps decide on bills and laws.
2. Another one of the three branches of government is the Judicial branch, this group of people is a smaller group of people who also helps decide on bills and laws.
3.The last branch of government is called the executive branch, this is one persons who also helps decide on laws and bills but they can veto a decision at any time.]]> 2018-09-19 18:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283580325 3066892 https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/283583524 1. Every male of age to vote was able to put their vote in to select a leader for Rome.
2. Voting was always fair for all men and was open to all male citizens of age to vote.
3.

From laws to buildings, the roman citizens had so many good ideas that we use today to make our country a better place to be in. One thing that we use that the roman citizens came up with is laws. We have laws like the roman empire did. We also have 3 branches of government like how the roman citizens had 3 branches of government. The 3 branches are the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the executive branch. Another thing we took from the roman empire was their architecture. We use columns, domes, and arches in buildings all the time as well.]]> 2018-09-20 18:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3066892/s4x2o41b4jl9/wish/284096348
