Technology and Control in Ancient Rome How did technological innovations help ancient Romans maintain control of their expanding empire?

“Necessity is the mother of invention” Can you provide a concrete example of this from another period in history?

Read the legend and figure out what the color-coding indicates. What does the legend tell you about the Roman Empire? Based on the legend, when did the Roman Empire expand to include Britannia? Imagine you’re the emperor of the Roman Empire and live in Rome. As emperor, you need to send a message to the governor of Britannia. How would you send this message? Are you relying on technology to send the message? Why or why not? As emperor, what specific challenges would you encounter in controlling all of this territory?

Analyze one Roman technology and explain its impact on the Roman political system. What is an aqueduct? Why would people be happy with the Roman government for building this? Why would an aqueduct be a major technological improvement for Romans? As a citizen, would you be more or less likely to support the Roman Empire after they built an aqueduct? Why or why not? Overall, how do you think the Roman Empire used technology to maintain control of its growing empire?

Part 1 Roman technology work sheet Groups of 3 Work together with info packages on technology to complete work sheet.

Part 2 of the worksheet, complete. How did these technologies help the Roman Empire maintain control of their territory? For the Romans, was “necessity the mother of invention?” Why or why not? For the Romans, do you think the road was as important a technology to them as the mobile phone is to us today? Why or why not? Do you think the Roman political system would have been able to survive without these technologies? Why or why not? Informal Assessment

Writing assignment Students will individually write (paragraph) a request to the Roman governor of a region of their choice (review the map used earlier in the activity to choose their region), asking that the governor bring one new technology to their city. In their request, you will need to explain to the Roman governor the following: The key features of this new technology. Why this new technology will improve the quality of life for the Romans living in this region. Why this technology will be beneficial to the overall peace and stability of the Roman Empire.
