What were the most important roman inventions?
Some of the most important Roman inventions include concrete, which revolutionized construction and allowed for the creation of enduring structures like the Pantheon and aqueducts; the Roman aqueduct system, which enabled the transport of water over long distances, significantly improving urban sanitation and public health; and the development of roads, which facilitated trade, military movement, and cultural exchange across the vast Roman Empire. Additionally, innovations like the Julian calendar and advancements in engineering and architecture laid the groundwork for future civilizations.
What are the moral reasons for the fall of rome?
There are varying reasons for the transition of the Roman empire into feudalistic states; most notable is the differences in population and culture among the Western and Eastern Empire. The Western Empire's population had been decimated by various plagues; the depopulation of Italy meant that fewer Romans and Italians were in military and political posts. This caused an overdependance on 'barbarians' to fill these positions---people who did not have an vested interest in Roman history or traditions, who governed from their own culture's principles. The trend towards imperialism and conquering itself varied from the early Roman Republic; materials and people were taken from conquered territories, as the territorial conquests diminished, so did the supplies. Not so much in regards to a culture's morals, but a decline in general allegiance and morale did influence civil apathy. The increased use of non Roman and Italian mercenaries during the latter Empire is often cited as the reason for a decline in patriotism towards Rome. Gallic, Germanic, and Briton soldiers in the territories were loyal to their own military leaders and their own people; not the city of Rome itself. Roman men were no longer required to serve in the legions; this also caused a social and political lethargy and complacency in Rome itself. Economic decline and inflation (Rome imported heavily, but exported very few things) plagues, food shortages and invasions, both militarily and immigration, contributed to the overall feeling of looking out for one's self and being indifferent to the plight of the state. Reduced tax revenue, due to military expenditure to protect the eastern borders and to conquer new provinces to acquire foodstuffs and materials, caused overinflated local bureaucracies while lessening the public services provided to Roman citizens---housing, roads. Fear of plagues and food shortages caused urban areas become depopulated and people either operated farms on their estates or were obliged to work on farms themselves. The Western empire didn't 'fall' more than it fragmented into smaller, more successfully governed regions.

Both ancient Greece and the Roman Empire significantly influenced urban planning during the Renaissance through their emphasis on symmetry, public spaces, and civic architecture.

The Renaissance revived these classical principles, showcasing a focus on proportion, order, and the integration of art into urban environments. Additionally, both cultures prioritized the functionality of their cities, balancing aesthetics with practical considerations for public life.
How did the Byzantine empire became the new Rome?
The Byzantine Empire was really just another name for the Eastern Roman Empire. The Byzantine Greeks called themselves Rhomaoi (Romans) and their Empire the Roman Empire. They saw themselves as the continuation of the Roman Empire and never used the term "Byzantine" to describe themselves.There was no one clear period when the Eastern Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire. Instead it happened in stages - a pagan, Latin empire based around Rome became a Christian Greek-speaking empire based around Constantinople.In 330, Constantine the Great moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Constantinople. There were a number of reasons for this. One was the fact the site of the city was an excellent defensive position. Secondly it was closer to the rich Eastern cities of the Empire, and also closer to the military outposts border with the Empire's main enemy, Persia.Constantine supported the introduction of Christianity from Constantinople as well - the city of Rome still had many pagan temples and was not as suitable for the purpose.The eastern half of the Empire spoke Greek as its working language instead of Latin, because Greeks had dominated the area for centuries before the rise of Rome.While Constantinople and the Eastern Empire maintained themselves, the Westen Empire was beset by barbarian invasions and by the collapse of urban life. The infantry armies of the Romans could not defend themselves against the barbarians who fought on horseback.With the collapse of the West, Greek langauge and culture became even more dominant in Constantinople. Christianity increased in power as well. The official Byzantine church would later become known as the Orthodox Church and is the ultimate origin of all of today's Orthodox churches.Latin and paganism gradually disappeared and were replaced by Greek and Christianity. The process was complete by the time Emperor Heraclius abolished the official use of Latin titles and language in 610.

The roman empire would have grown so large and prosperous without the aqueducts?
Aqueducts did not affect the size of the Roman Empire as this was determined by other factors which were independent from them. They did contribute to prosperity as they supplied the towns with clean water and meet their level of demand. Water was used (and still is) both for cleaning and hygiene (which were important in the cities which were crowded and packed into city walls) and for manufacturing processes. Since the Roman Empire relied on and promoted trade, the urban economy was important.
What type of economy did the Holy Roman Empire have?
For much if its history the Holy Roman Empire had a predominantly agricultural economy based on serfdom. Peasants worked the estates of the lords as serfs. An exceptions to this were the cites of the Hanseatic league in northern Germany which were trading cities. Late on, the empire found it difficult to cope with the growth of urban economies and with industrialisation which challenged the old established order because it had evolved out of medieval arrangements.

Where were the Ancient Romans located?
The urban culture of ancient Rome was located in the city of Rome. Urban culture can be loosely defined as the actions and reactions of people and way of life of the people of a city. In our own country for example, if you throw an insult at a Texan, you'll liable to get a punch in the nose, if you insult a New Yorker, you'll get an insult in return and a rude hand gesture. The ancient world was no different. Each city had its own unwritten way of doing things, or its urban culture.
