The Romans influenced European religion and culture through the Middle Ages and Early Modernity.Their main legacies are religion, the alphabet, language, law and art.
Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Late Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.
Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (romance languages). Many Latin words have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.
Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.
The key principles of Roman civil law have provided the foundation or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries. These are: citizenship status and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to have a proper trial and to defend oneself, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed.
The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century
One of the most important reasons for studying history is that the events in past history can often explain today's events. As one example, the Middle East problems of today can be historically traced to the 1956 war that France, England and Israel had with Egypt. In today's world, the resentment of many Arab nations towards the West is based on the example given along with many other western policies that adversely affected certain Arab nations.
Many businesses in today's world hold business events for a large variety of reasons. The events can get the word out about their business to many leaders in the community.
Reading "Animal Farm" and studying communism today is important because it provides insights into the consequences of totalitarianism and the abuse of power. By examining these themes through literature, we can better understand historical events and make connections to current societal issues. Additionally, studying communism helps us analyze different political systems and encourages critical thinking about governance and social structures.

Studying the past helps us understand the roots of current societal, political, and cultural issues. By analyzing historical events, patterns, and trends, we can identify similarities and differences with the present, providing valuable context and insights into the factors shaping the world today. Additionally, understanding how past decisions and actions have led to certain outcomes can inform our choices and decision-making in the present.

A historian would be most interested in studying the past events, societies, cultures, and people to gain a better understanding of how they have shaped the world we live in today. They focus on analyzing and interpreting historical evidence to piece together a cohesive narrative of the past.
