the Roman arch, for one. ummmm... hydrology... anyone? They are probably too numerous to name, but I would say the Roman concept of representative government. A Roman Senator was usually every bit as corrupt as a United States Senator. Anyone else? Come on, people. This is a team effort.
The main legacies of the Romans 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 the religion of the masses and then 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 religion in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main religion 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form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed.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.
The five legacies by the Romans are these: 1) numbers 2) coins 3) buildings 4) language and 5) food.

If you mean the United States by "us", the letters should be capitalized otherwise the "us" becomes a pronoun meaning "you and me". But to answer your question, the only connection between Latinos and the Romans is their language.

Hannibal was to the Romans, as is Bin Laden to the US of A today. He tired of continually watching over his sholder for Roman assassins (CIA TODAY), and decided, in his late years, he would end it himself, for surrender to the Romans ment certan torture, and death!
There were many parallels between tourism in the ancient world and our world. Some of them are quite familiar to us. The Romans had travel agents and tour planners the same as we have. The popular Roman tour sites were closely related to the sites we visit today. For example, Greece and a tour of temples and old cities was high on their list of favorites, just as today. (Remember though, that the temples and some cities were still in use in Roman times and not in ruins like today) Egypt was perhaps number one on their "must see" list, just as Egypt is a very popular tourist attraction today. The Romans loved looking at the Egyptian ruins and even leaving graffiti to prove that they had been there. They also had to put up with narrow rutted roads and if they were traveling without a guide, getting lost. This sometimes happens today. And that old problem of seasickness plagued the Romans just as it bothers some of us today.
They gave us socks

The Etruscans created the Roman numeral system and they once ruled the Romans.

Pottery has a huge impact on us today. It is used as a cheap and versatile material in everyday life. In archaelology it gives us huge amounts of information about the past which develops our understanding of people who came before us.
All Romans did not enjoy the gladiatorial games because of personal preferences. Just as all of us today do not enjoy auto racing or boxing or football, the Romans, too, had their own preferences for entertainments.All Romans did not enjoy the gladiatorial games because of personal preferences.
