Roman engineering was aimed at communication and sanitation. The Romans built the famous stone-paved roads whose purpose was military. They speeded up the movement of troops to the front and the transport of supplies to soldiers at the from or in garrisons. These Roads constituted 20% of the enormous road network of roads built around the Roman Empire. Therefore, the more general purpose of road building was to make communication and transport easier and to facilitate trade. The Romans also built bridges with the use or arches. They could cross wider rivers and valleys, therefore contributing to the communication network. They also built ports to facilitate shipping. The Romans also built aqueducts to bring fresh water from the sources on the mountains to the towns. They also built sewers, outdoors public toilets and public baths. The aim was to improve sanitation.

During the Roman Republic works of arts were commissioned by rich Romans. The aim was to produce images of important people and to embellish the city. During the period of rule by emperors most of the art was commissioned by the emperors. The aim was to justify and glorify their rule.
