ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

Introduction

Now that we know that the Romans copied anything they thought it was good, it is time to find out what they invented by themselves!

Task

So, what did the Romans invent? Are any of their inventions still valid nowadays? You have to look for that information imagining that you are a Roman citizen willing to show the rest of the world that you did more things than just copying from others!

In groups of 5 you will look for inventions attending the following areas:
