Roman Achievements ,
The Empire ,Naturally the most obvious achievement of the Romans was their vast empire, which spread over three continents. It lasted for a long, long time.
From 625 BC to AD 476 = 1101 years ! - And if one includes the eastern Roman empire which lasted until AD 1453 it would even be 2078 years !
In comparison the United States of America only exists since 1776 - less than 250 years.
Alphabet !!!! i think is a major a achievementt.
The Roman alphabet is what most of us still use today in the western world. We have added a few letters to it, like W, but it is much still the same alphabet used by the Romans.
Their numerals are not any longer in every day use. It is Arabic numbers we use today. But for inscriptions on public buildings and some other things Roman numerals are still sometimes used
The Romans achieved world fame with their incredible army. It defeated pretty much everybody
No civilization is so identified with constructing and building things, than the Romans. Aquaeducts, roads, baths, walls, theatres, temples, arches, cities, palaces... They built a world from which later peoples still benefitted for a long time to come.
Some of their old roads are even still in use today. So too, some of their great amphitheatres
