THE LEGACY OF ROME• Much of the world’s knowledge about construction
comes from the Romans. • Early Romans borrowed architectural ideas from the
Greeks, but they also developed their own style.

ROMAN ARCHITECTURE• Roman designs often included vaults, columns,
domes and arches. • New architectural ideas meant that buildings could
be constructed in brand new ways.

ROMAN ARCHITECTURE• Because of concrete and a new design, Roman theaters
did not have to be built on natural slopes to have tied seating…early Greek theaters are only found on slopes.

Twelve Tables, are with us today. • We, like the Romans, believe that all people are
equal under the law and should be treated fairly.

important today in the United States. • Like early Romans, Americans believe that a republic
made up of equal citizens is the best government.
