Wow...Where to start? Well, the Colosseum was one of the many architectural achievements won by the Romans. It housed 50,000 people, had an area beneath the fighting floor, and it still stands (partially) today! Aqueducts were also among the many advances. Romans used these structures to ferry water through an archway that lead from the mountains directly to the city, allowing Plumbing and clean water, without any travel. Stone roads were achieved by building the Appian Way (Via Appia in Latin) which made travel faster, easier, and overall more enjoyable. Caesar, during the crossing of the Rubicon, built a HUGE bridge with his army in only 2 weeks or so. He used gravity and leverage to hammer in the huge support beams underground, by building an apparatus that would be pulled by rope, then dropped (at a 45 degree angle) straight into the wooden beam. If I'm missing more please feel free to correct me, but those are the major advances.
