What are some examples of roman achitecture and engineering that influecne modern life?

Answer 1

Romans engineering has very little influence on modern life. The Romans did not have electricity or combustion to power machinery and their machinery was human-drawn, animal- drawn or water powered. The use of arches for bridged was widespread in the nineteenth century but was not used in the twentieth century or these days.

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.
