Roman Genius

The ancient people of the Roman civilization were very smart, and they used their intelligence to help them in expanding and improving their living quality. First, they were great inverters when it came to architecture. Numerous things that they invented include roads, cement, aquifers, arches, sewers, arenas like coliseums, and other structures. These have been perfected over time however they are still in use, like roads for example. The roads used by the romans were paved out of stone, but nowadays they are cemented. Secondly, the Romans invented a new system of justice which was based upon the one from Athens. Instead of having a jury vote on the problem in a court, they brought in a judge which would make the decision himself. This system is used today everywhere around the world just it has been a bit modified. In conclusion, the Romans have had numerous benefits on the world even though the civilization existed a very long time ago.
