INVENTIONS IN ANCIENT ROME

The Romans had one of the largest empires, because they had the ability to build different architectures that had helped him advance in his time. The civil engineering was one of the basic pillars upon which was built the Roman Empire. The most important architectures of the Roman Empire were the network of roads, bridges and aqueducts. Some of architectures that the Romans built their empire exist today. The Roman engineering built a great network of roads. The network of roads were very important in the Roman Empire because the Romans had a pretty big empire. The cities were connected by roads that were built by digging a trench and filled with stones of different thicknesses up levelling the ground and covering the last layer with flat stones. Without the network of roads communication of the Romans would have been difficult because the roads network gave the Romans the ability to communicate faster. The extensive network of roads was very important for the military. The ease of movement with the network of roads in the Roman Empire gave an advantage to the Romans when they had to move elsewhere. The Roman engineering also built several bridges. The bridges that engineers have built many similar Romans. All bridges have an arc below and above the bridge was flat. The bridge was made of stones and the roads were not more than five meters wide. The Roman engineers were true masters in their construction, as were key elements for access to cities, with intent that were in the vicinity of rivers. The bridges were built on the rule of the Romans were very important for the defense and also to enter some cities which were separated by several rivers. Some of the bridges that still exist these days are the bridge of Salamanca, Merida bridge and the bridge of Alcantara. Some of the bridges that were constructed by Roman engineers still are being used without compensation and that some are using it repaired. The engineering of the Romans was responsible for building some aqueducts. The aqueducts were built with cement channels to test water and were covered with stone slabs. The aqueducts were very important for the Roman Empire because without taking aqueducts cities had extensive destruction by the geography of their premises. The aqueducts were built to save the landforms that existed between the springs or rivers and cities. The aqueducts were important for civilians because the water that was used to sustain life was aqueducts. The Romans spent much of the public purse to the maintenance of these facilities to ensure the constant supply of fresh water and clean. The most famous aqueduct in the Roman Empire is the aqueduct in Segovia. The aqueduct in Segovia, Spain still can be seen in Spain because it has not been destroyed. Other major aqueducts of the Roman Empire are the Aqueduct de los Milagros, Aqueduct San Lazaro, and Aqueduct Ferreres.

We can notice the advantages that the romans have, over the other empires, also the bridges the road and the aqueducts are a little group of the things that the roman invented, that changed the world and made things easier for the people all over the world.
