Roman government was responsible for the notion that law should apply equally and fairly to all people. Rome's laws became the foundation of many legal systems today. Some of the laws were: all persons have the right to equal treatment under the law, a person is innocent until proven guilty, and a person should be punished for actions, not thoughts. The Romans also developed a distinct government structure which is very similar to one used in America today. Their government had three branches, a legal code, and similar guidelines for citizenship.]]> 2020-02-25 04:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cvj0/so11pbtgtcjk/wish/449925016 cvj0 https://padlet.com/cvj0/so11pbtgtcjk/wish/449925419 The Romans developed a distinct architectural style which was full of grandeur. They developed domes, arches, and were the first to utilize concrete. They also developed aqueducts which allowed them to transport water effectively. Roman architecture is still used today for important buildings and some grand houses. ]]> 2020-02-25 04:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cvj0/so11pbtgtcjk/wish/449925419 cvj0 https://padlet.com/cvj0/so11pbtgtcjk/wish/449925501 Roman literature was greatly influenced by Greek literature, so it often included Greek ideas and themes. Aeneid was a poem written by, Roman poet, Virgil, and it was written in hopes of boosting patriotism. Tacitus' Annals and Histories addressed the good and the bad of Rome.

They developed bas-relief which is when the image sticks out of a flat surface, and they developed mosaics which is when shards of colored glass are used to form pictures or patterns. They were also known for frescoes which are mural paintings which are painted on fresh plaster. These art forms were used as inspiration for many other art forms, and they can still be seen in our modern-day world. ]]> 2020-02-25 05:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cvj0/so11pbtgtcjk/wish/449929544 cvj0 https://padlet.com/cvj0/so11pbtgtcjk/wish/449934564 Latin is the foundation of the romance languages used today, and Latin is known as the language of learning.
