Rome's greatest and most lasting legacy was concrete. Forget about the legal legacy, Rome's legal concepts are/were only relevant in the western world for many years and have only rather recently begun to spread in some form. However concrete is used all over the world and shows no sign of being completely replaced. So my vote is for concrete being Rome' greatest and most lasting legacy. Others may have differing opinions.

∙ 11y agoAmong the many legacies of the Romans, the most widespread ones are the alphabet and language. All western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian are Romance languages; that is, languages derived from Latin.

What is considered romes greatest legacy?
the Roman empire literally changed history. Rome spread Christianity into every corner of the know world, from Britannia to Asia minor (western Asia) and from Germany to North Africa. the Romans were very practical people, which is why the roman empire lasted so long (the eastern empire (the Byzantine empire) lasted up to 1453). They did not rule by terror or force and Rome's civilians really did get a better life - stone walled cities, baths, roads, aqueducts and a well trained, well payed professional army armed with the best equipment in the known world. the greatest legacy of ancient Rome are the far reaching effects of her presence, for instance, Hadrian's Wall (Northumberland, England) marks the end of the most powerful empire in the world, and the huge walls surrounding Constantinople that weren't overcome by an enemy until the crusades in the 15th century. But the greatest legacies are the successes of the Latin influence in modern European languages and spread of the Christian faith.
