- The secret of the empires success was the ability of the Romans to solve many of the technical problems modern cultures face today. From 31BC until 476AD the Roman Empire dominated Europe and at its height it stretched from Egypt in the South, to Scotland in the North.
- It was one of the worlds earliest superpowers. They constructed massive cities, home to over a million people; build on grid systems with impressive buildings, amenities and even high-rise apartment blocks.
- They were able to achieve this largely due to the development of cement and concrete which used a special ingredient, pozzolana, which made it versatile and able to set under water.
- The roman method of water transportation inspired similar systems in modern cities like New York, they were innovators in medicine, and they had an extremely efficient military machine.
- Though the Roman Empire collapsed 1500 years ago, much of its technology is the still blueprint for modern living.
