Roman Civilization

In my opinion, the Roman Empire was more advanced than both the Byzantine and Greek Empires. The Romans were brilliant engineers, building magnificent buildings and roads that would be extremely influential for centuries to come. For example, the Apennine Way is still used today as a road and the Pantheon has inspired architects who have built many buildings, including many government buildings all over the world. The Romans also invented the incredibly  important aqua duct that revolutionized water transport, as well as help keep their cities clean. Also, their architecture was very advanced, they used both the columns and arches while building things, using both Etruscan and Greek influence. The Romans also had a strong government, with powerful Emperors and the wise Senators who led the Empire successfully  for many years. They also developed a democratic republic, which is a major form of government today. In addition, their art was also very advanced, the sculptures and painters created magnificent pieces of art. The Romans also had an extraordinary military. Their soldiers were specially trained and well equipped with deadly weapons. Also, their battle tactics were genius, demonstrating the intelligence of this great empire, and helping them expand  it to cover parts of north Africa, much of Europe, and parts of Asia.  They also had strong defenses to protect their people and the territories that they commanded. The Roman Empire also cared a lot about its citizens and worked hard to keep them all happy. Emperors built great stadiums for entertainment and gave out food to its citizens. Overall, the Roman Empire was very advanced and a magnificent empire.
