Some things they had introduced were roads, bridges, aqueducts, and tunnels. Stadiums were introduced by the Greeks, but the Romans added their own touch to them. One famous stadium that the Romans made was the Colosseum. The history of the Stadium starts with the Greeks, but there is a famous stadium that the Romans made, which was the Colosseum. The Romans made their adjustments with the Colosseum, making it an ellipse shape, with 50,000 seats and 80 entrances, and was 157 feet.

Domes were round ceilings and evolved from the Roman Arch, made by Byzantine architects.  Requires heavy walls to hold the heavy structure up though.

The earliest bridges were formed by the Greeks, but the Romans revolutionized them by introducing arches to the mix. This design of Arch Bridges made bridges were extremely strong being able to hold a lot of weight.

Always, all their roads would always lead to Rome from where they conquered. The Romans had used them mostly for travel, trade, and to hold the Empire together. They would dig a trench for where the road would go and lay it with big stones. Next they would put big stones, cement, and sand, and then another layer of cement mixed with broken tiles. On top of that they put paving stones, cut to fit tightly together. Kerb stones were put to the left and right as a channel for water to run down.

The Romans had also even introduced including aqueducts, made from human-made channels. They were meant to always give a constant flow of water, by making it run through the channel at a slight angle down and into a city. Was a big system of pipes, ditches, canals, and tunnels, to maneuver the water to the city.

One specific type of tunnel being the Qanat tunnel, adopted by the Etruscans (they had ruled Rome as kings for some time). They were constructed with vertical shafts, dug at 35.5 meter intervals.

They used them a lot because the Romans had liked open spaces, and they could hold a lot of weight, even though they were such a simple structure.

The Roman Arch was one of Rome's best innovations, making better roads, aqueducts, and bigger buildings. Was a very important architecture discovery, as it was a simple structure, but could do a lot of things.

They also got influenced by others, like the Egyptians. Their art were of two types Frescos and Mosaics. Frescoes were directly painted onto walls. Most of them were destroyed, but some still exist in the city of Pompeii. Mosaics were pictures made from colored tiles. They could both be art on a wall or a floor decoration. Mosaics have managed to survive longer than their Fresco counterparts.

However, sculptures from Rome were influenced a lot from Greece, with most of them literally being copies of Greek Sculptures. Popular subjects for sculptures included gods, goddesses, philosophers, famous athletes, and successful generals.

Busts were the most popular type of sculptures. Busts are sculptures only taken of the head of the subject. Most of the time wealthy Romans would have busts of their ancestors, and was a way to show off their lineage.

Rome had 2 consuls (or presidents) that were also elected, like how it is today, but only by richest in Rome. They would basically run the government, and have control of the army. During war, one of the consuls be chosen as a dictator for the time-being as to not slow down time on what to do. This dictator would have to give up his dictatorship after 6 months, and go back to the system of 2 consuls.

The Legislative Branch was made up of two groups of representatives, the senate and the council. Both of these groups would invent laws that could later be accepted and enforced for Rome.]]> 2018-09-21 03:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/357128/x9qjeii6tvsh/wish/284211295 357128 https://padlet.com/357128/x9qjeii6tvsh/wish/284212092 Not only were the Legislative and the Executive Branch's similar from Rome and today but the Judicial Branch as well. Rome also had a court in which their would be a judge who would tell, based off evidence whether someone would be declared innocent or guilty. Under Roman Law they would state that a person would be innocent until proven guilty, similar to today's world.]]> 2018-09-21 03:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/357128/x9qjeii6tvsh/wish/284212092 357128 https://padlet.com/357128/x9qjeii6tvsh/wish/284423426 "World History Medieval to Early Times" History Book]]> 2018-09-21 15:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/357128/x9qjeii6tvsh/wish/284423426
