Reply To: Romans Among Us

[ckocsis]

Roman art and architecture is everywhere in todays society. A lot of the worlds political buildings have columns very reminiscent of Roman architecture. The Roman government was very powerful, so its no surprise the world emulates their buildings for our own government buildings. The Romans were the first society to put their ruler’s faces on coins, and now pretty much the whole world follows this practice. I think the majority of what the world has taken away from the Roman empire is the strength of their rulers, and we have integrated the aspects of their culture that helped illustrate their power.
