Rome’s Legacy 12.3

The Roman Arch The Romans were the first people to make wide use of the arch. The photograph at left shows a Roman aqueduct supported by hundreds of arches. On the right is a drawing showing how Roman engineers built their tall and strong arches. How did the Romans support arches during their construction?

ROMAN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Unlike the Greeks, most Romans did not study the world just to learn about it. The Romans mainly wanted knowledge to help improve their lives. The Romans were practical. Their doctors studied the works of the Greeks, including Galen, to find ways of improving human health.

The Romans were skilled engineers and builders The Romans were skilled engineers and builders. They developed new materials, such as cement, so their structures would last. Examples of the Roman aqueduct still stand. The Romans used the vault to create large, open spaces within buildings. Roman buildings were bigger than any previously created.

The Colosseum was a huge arena in ancient Rome The Colosseum was a huge arena in ancient Rome. The giant building was more than 150 feet tall and could seat about 50,000 people, who came to watch events like gladiator fights. The building’s design was based on many arches and vaults, hallmarks of Roman engineering. Many public buildings in the United States are modeled after Roman designs. THE IMPACT TODAY

ARCHITECTURE AND ART The Romans prized beauty as well as practical things. Roman architecture was greatly influenced by earlier Greek designs. The Romans used columns in public buildings to make them look grand, as the Greeks had done. However, Roman engineering allowed them to create much larger buildings, such as the Colosseum. This huge building was used to hold gladiator fights. Beautiful mosaics covered many Roman floors. Frescoes, or paintings done on plaster, often decorated their walls. Many Roman sculptors copied the great Greek sculptures.

A Roman Fresco A fresco is a type of painting in which paint is applied to wet plaster and then left to dry. Roman artists painted many beautiful frescoes like this one. What activities can you see in this fresco?

LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE Ovid wrote lovely poems and Virgil wrote a great epic, the Aeneid, about the founding of Rome. Romans excelled in satire, which has been a model for many modern works of literature. The Roman poets wrote in Latin, the language of ancient Rome. Latin greatly influenced the development of the Romance languages. Many Latin words are still used today in English. Some examples are circus and veto. Many scientific naming systems and mottoes are taken from the Latin language.

LAW Civil law was inspired by Roman law, which was enforced throughout the Roman Empire and continued to exist even after the empire fell apart. Most European nations today are ruled by systems of civil law.
