What Did Rome Leave Behind?
By: Claire Bennett & Emily Hayes
Language
In several European languages such as italian, spanish, and french latin still remains extremely influential. English has also used latin, in fact we still use the latin alphabet even though the latin alphabet has 23 letters and the english alphabet has 26. They also named several months from latin such as August, October, November, and December.
Mosaics and Murals
Wealthy families would decorate their homes with colorful murlas, and mosaics. In churches today we still use mosaics. We also use murlas still on billboards, walls and buildings.
Law and Justice
the Roman law would cover marriages, inheritances, and contracts/agreements among people. Still today, people can get married in a court house which is a contract. But you could also get divorced which would be ending that contract.
