ROMAN CONTRIBUTIONS:
Rome has contributed a lot to the modern world we have today. like our system of government and our military. In Rome, roman citizens were required to serve in the military, the army was spilt into different sections or legions. A Present day example of this would be the current U.S Military system. The U.S. military is divided as well into sections like the navy, army. and Air force.
Also our Republican form of government is based off of early Roman government. The romans had a republic government which had the citizens vote. They also had other types of government such as a monarchy, democracy, and a aristocracy. Today, a present day example would be the U.S Constitution. The U.S Constitution is based on the Roman Republic system of checks and balances.
