system of aqueducts that would help carry water to their city from areas many miles away. “Most people went to the public fountains (into which the aqueducts flowed) to obtain their water. A privileged few were authorized to tap the aqueducts and set up a system of pipes which would bring water right into their homes”(Shelton 66). This showed the Romans were quite clever and that they understood the whole city needed clean water. It was very crucial for the Romans to keep the aqueducts…

Along with the impressive size and ingenuity of the aqueduct systems, the fact is that it’s still used today. This can explain…

to have these situations today. Romans had the greatest impact on the world due to their knowledge in the fields of engineering, math, and literature. Not only that but the Romans’ culture very much influenced the western culture. For example, the aqueduct is one of the greatest innovations that the Romans created due to the incorporation of engineering and physics within the design. This highlights the incredible skill of the Romans. The Pantheon is a beautiful temple made by the Romans which…

The Han and the Romans had many technology advances, like water conservation offices, aqueducts, water powered engines, and more. Between the Romans and the Han most were happy with the tools; some were not impressed and upset. Another group was them being happy with the new technology but they had problems with the government. Some of the upper class Romans had enjoyed having tools, although some had also disliked the people distributing the technology, the government. Some were just happy…

For example, a few innovations include aqueducts, roads, cement, the Pantheon, and the arch. Most if not all of these creations have inspired new technologies the we use today. As a matter of fact, Romans thought of engineering as a way to improve their daily lifestyle, and put a lot of time and effort into it. The Romans were great engineers, and their ancient civilizations have significantly changed the world with new technologies. The Roman aqueducts have revolutionized the way humans get…

Another problem is the military, during Rome’s decline, it was tough to recruit soldiers and harder to provide resources for its heavy armies. Economy was also a big problem for the Romans because they needed funding for their armies, building sewers, aqueducts, arenas, and financially support their welfare system; but not enough money was there when necessary. Ultimately Rome fell but the solutions to these problems were…

This can be proven through the constant concern on the part of the Han dynasty over the less than stellar opinion on the part of the Romans. As a foreword, every document provided was written by a higher class citizen or government official, giving no insight into how the common people, lower…

built. An example of the flexibility provided by concrete and Pozzolana is the construction of circular temples such as the Pantheon. Other structures facilitated by the Pozzolana were the infamous public roman baths of Caracalla, the basilicas, the aqueducts of Rome, as well as the coliseum cite and these structures have stood the test of time. The durability of Roman concrete was as aforementioned due to the volcanic ash, this worked by preventing cracks from spreading over time (Moore 1995).…

network that was able to not only support the empire but bring the people of it closer to one another and an entertainment industry that could be considered to be on par with today’s football leagues, to something we take for granted every day, the aqueducts that supplied running water to the cities. As vast as the Roman Empire was it would have never survived if it wasn’t for the trade network. It was a way to connect the larger cities in Italy to the furthest provinces in Mesopotamia. In a…

therefore he wants to make the Roman Empire seem as powerful as possible. Not only did the Romans build roads, they also built the famed aqueduct system. The aqueduct system within Rome is a very good example of technology within a classical society. These aqueduct systems were very complex, and Frontinus, a Roman general, was very supportive of these aqueduct systems in that he basked in their complexity and usefulness, as well as…
