Home   Rome’s Impact on Today’s Society  Rome had a great impact on today’s culture. We use lots of things Ancient Rome discovered and learned in our everyday life. From entertainment to fighting skills, Rome has made a large impression on our world today.   One of the ways Rome influenced today is their city and how advanced it was in their time. It is very possible that our streets were based on Rome’s, and I think we got the ‘raised sidewalks’ idea from Rome too. Rome also had a very distinct style of buildings. The classic architecture they used in many of their buildings is in many of our buildings today!

 Rome’s layout also had effects on our modern cities layouts. They had shops with the shopkeeper’s house on top, just like we do. They also had a compact style, like apartment buildings and shops do in today’s cities.

 Rome’s army also impacts today’s society. We use lots of the weapons they invented, and some of their tactics and strategies have been used in modern defense groups! Soldiers in Rome fought for their homeland and so do ours.

 The Colosseum proves that in more than a few ways, the times may change, but people still like the same things. While we may not throw people to lions or fight to the death, people today still like to play sports and be spectators at some type of a tournament. Humans today and in the year AD 50 still like competition and entertainment. The Colosseum proves we haven’t changed much as to what we like to do!

 Rome’s government also affects the present. They had a specific ruler, (like a president or queen) but they also had a group called the Senate. They were like our House of Representatives, Congress, Speaker of the House, Vice President, and anyone else who helps make decisions or laws.



 Just like in Rome, there is a history of crazy rulers, like Hitler. Both Nero and Hitler excluded a group of people, based on their religious beliefs. They also ended their lives the same way-suicide- when people were taking action against them. <span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #943634; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #943634; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #943634; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #943634; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> <span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #943634; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> Rome had a huge impact on today's society.
