Roman Genius
The Romans were a group of highly intelligent people. From military officials to everyday people, they brought ideas and concepts which we use today. Thanks to them we have benefited. The first way we have benefited is by law. Romans developed the Greek democracy by making a judge. Instead of people presenting the problem and voting, a judge would rule on common sense, evidence and not biased. The second way would be military. Many places around the world have a small army. The Romans taught us that quantity is definitely not better than quality. The Roman soldiers were successful and disciplined and that traveled on to present day. They also made allies. Allies are used in different countries to help them when they are weak. Thanks to the Romans figuring that out we can now make allies. The third way would be architecture. The Romans created aquifers, sewer systems, arches, coliseums, parliaments, spas, markets and various other structures. These have all been passed down to present day but only a little bit more advanced. The sewer system Cloaca Maxima is even still used today! The last way would be language. Romans spoke Latin, which is now a dead language. On the other hand many English words come from Latin ones. In addition to that many medicines, flora and fauna all have a Latin name. In conclusion, Romans benefited to us by giving us law, military, architecture, allies and language. Without them who knows what would be of present day...
