Roman influence can be seen in architecture, laws, language, and certain cultural practices around the world today. Examples include the use of Roman-inspired columns in government buildings, the basis for many modern legal systems derived from Roman law, the influence of Latin on many languages, and the continuation of Roman customs such as the celebration of holidays like Easter and Christmas.

How does roman fashion affect fashion today?

Fashion can be anything that matches. Most of the Roman Fashion is really fashionable and I even like it!The Romans were known for several important influences on fashion: 1. They were known for the wrapping and draping of fabric in various ways. This has had a huge influence on designers who design by draping, rather than through the flat pattern method.2. They created the first POCKET in fashion - it wasn't really a constructed pocket, but rather the draping of fabric to conceal their "purse" or their money - men only, women did not carry money.3. The color of the garments and shoes indicated their rank, as did the type of embellishments and quality of the wool fabrics they used. Purple was reserved for royalty, as was gold embroidery. Red was the color of war and worn by military in the plumes that extended from their helmets in a crest shape. Red and blue became the colors of the borders of the togas worn by the senators - each color indicating their "party" as you will see in the Republican and Democrat symbols today.4. The use of symbols, eventually known as "crests" became an important way of first indicating the country you were from, the emperor for whom you were fighting and eventually the family in which you were born. These crests were worn on the sides of the helmets of the men in military, similarly to the symbols on the side of a football players helmet, which indicates his team! This trend remained even after the fall of the Roman empire. They were embroidered on garments to show your family, as society rank was through wealth. Today, we see these as "logos" - two C's on the side of your sunglasses today indicate the designer (Chanel), or that you paid too much for them, or you got some really good knock offs!5. The Romans were also the first to use a veil for a bride getting married. They were opaque and the bride did not see her husband until the point of taking vows. The veil was suppose to insure that she would not be possessed by another man prior to her husband. The bridesmaids were suppose to distract other men or evil spirits, so they were often very decorated and dressed more "sexual" so the bride would garner no attention.

How can you tell a Roman temple apart from a Greek temple?

Oh, dude, it's like telling apart a taco from a burrito! Roman temples are usually more grand and have a front porch with columns on all sides, while Greek temples have columns only in the front. So, if you see columns all around, you're probably looking at a Roman temple. But hey, as long as they both have a spot to praise some ancient gods, who really cares, right?
