The Romans despite popular belief did a lot of good. They built roads that are still used today. Their buildings are now tourist attractions. Though I’m sure that was not their intention .They gave medieval Europe a common language, Latin. Which eventually turned into the romance languages; Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian and French They and the Greeks were the inspiration for the renaissance. Their architectural achievements can still be seen all over its former empire. The legal system in the western world has been evolved from the Romans. It may not be as obvious at first but the Romans had a huge impact on the geographical landscape because of the size of its empire and its trading routes.
In this blog I have learned about how the Romans geographically impacted modern day Europe. This is my last blog on the Romans. Thank-you for reading
