Rome: The Roman Impact On European And World Culture
An empire that disintegrated almost 1000 years ago still shapes much of Western culture. This book will open your eyes to the lasting greatness of a nation that can never be forgotten.
At its height, the Roman empire was the most influential body in the western world in social, legal and political terms. Today there are still many cultural remnants of ancient Rome. In fact, it’s difficult to find any area of modern life that isn’t at least partially influenced by Roman customs and habits.
Many of the world’s legal and political systems had their origin in the Roman Empire– the concept of innocence until guilt is proven is a classic example of Roman influence.
While reading Rome: The Roman Impact On European And World Culture, you will discover:
- Four areas of criminal and civil law that are uniquely shaped by the Roman system of jurisprudence
- The Roman influence on two streams of European languages
- Four amazing fields of architecture and engineering that still show the innovations of Rome
- The Roman impact on modern urban life and structure, all based on the city of Rome.
The Romans were nothing if not pragmatic, and as they conquered the western world, they were happy to use ideas from other cultures to consolidate their influence. They were also innovators, and many of the practices we take for granted today had their origins in ancient Rome, which was effectively a blueprint for modern city life. This book examines the wide-reaching and enduring impact of the Roman Empire on various areas of European and world culture. You never have a day when some dimension of your own life isn't touched by the remnants of Roman culture.
