Influence of the Roman empire



The Roman empire had contributed a lot to the world history. Even though it already ended almost 1500 years ago, its memories or remains are still alive and remembered.

The Romans constructed bridges, roads, buildings and other architectural works during the reign of their empire. They built it for the empowerment of their empire but as of now, it is very useful to all of us. and to our everyday lives.

Many people are also still using the Latin language which was the language of the Romans during that time.

Their law codes became the basis of the law codes of the European and Latin-American nations.

Roman attributes were also still dominant nowadays. Those were being just, being tolerant and having desire for peace.

The Roman empire also contributed a lot to the spread and strengthening of Christianity. It was when Emperor Theodosius declared that Christianity would be the official religion of the empire. Christianity is still the dominant religion today.

These are the contributions and influences of the Roman empire to the modern world.
