How Roman achievements had an impact on today
Roman roads influenced the roads we use today, they help us get to places faster. Roman aqueducts influenced pipes which transport large quantities of water from place to place.
Roman arches have helped inspire the designs of many buildings today like the Eiffel Tower it has a metal arch in its design. Today many people speak Romance languages, Latin also developed into different languages for example English which many people around the world speak. Our laws that we have are similar to the Roman laws, both their laws and our laws protect people's rights.
