We sometimes think that the Roman Empire fell long ago, so what does that have to do with us? Why should we even be interested in an empire that doesn't exist any more since a long time? Well, because the cultural influence of the Roman Empire is still to be found everywhere. Take the capital of the USA for example, Washington DC. A roman travelling there from the past, would feel right at home. There is an impressive building with a large rotunda, built in the classical greco-roman style, the Capitol building. Even the name Capitol comes from the capitoline hill in Rome, where we found the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. Then there is the Jefferson memorial which reminds us strongly of the Pantheon in Rome. Or the tall Obelisk, which would also have been right at home in ancient Rome, because many Obelisks adorned the ancient capital. But not only the classicist buildings are fashioned after the old greco-roman temples, but many of the languages we speak are based on Latin, such as Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian or Romanian. Then many of our current roads still follow the ancient roman roads, we still use construction methods that were used in roman times, we build stadiums on the blueprint of the colosseum, and we even try to copy roman concrete because of its durability. So we see what an incredible influence the ancient romans still have on our daily lives.
