What's the greatest legacy of ancient Rome?

@CSMFHT Women turning into trees

@CSMFHT Salacious graffiti

@CSMFHT Their system of law /PM

@CSMFHT

@CSMFHT A noticeable lack of modern Carthage

@CSMFHT Aquaducts baby. Aquaducts.

@CSMFHT "Alright! but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health what have the romans ever done for us?"

@CSMFHT

@CSMFHT

@CSMFHT Possibly the senate? For me it’s the transportation system of roads in southern Europe. Turning dirt tracks into roads that you could move wagons on and moving large numbers of troops over massive distances.

@CSMFHT White dudes who think they understand Ancient Rome have been an ongoing problem since the fall of Rome.

@CSMFHT Twink baths

@CSMFHT It's corny, but gotta go with it: Civilization It's what made a judicial system functional

@CSMFHT Roads. Aquaduct.

@CSMFHT ...Romance languages I can speak Catalan, Spanish, Italian, French, and I understand and can speak "bridging" each other language with people from Portugal and others througout Europe how Roman is that?

@CSMFHT

@CSMFHT Christianity as a recruitment and propaganda tool of colonialism somehow despite its prophet being born a peasant in a colonial province and executed by a colonial trial, featuring a judge who doesn't gaf. This is all still in the religion that still recruits crusaders!

@CSMFHT Christianity (in a negative way 😅)

@CSMFHT Sanitation: baths and lavatories.

@CSMFHT The legal system. Roman law has influenced the law in so many countries.

@CSMFHT Sanitation.

@CSMFHT Private law, every other answer is wrong

@CSMFHT The Latin Letters

@CSMFHT Can‘t decide between Roman Law, the Catholic Church or just the influence of Latin. Probably Roman Lae

@CSMFHT The European Union and the peace it has brought to the continent.

@CSMFHT The cautionary tale of its fallen republic.

@CSMFHT Probably our Alphabet

@CSMFHT Not making Jupiter into an even bigger sex pest.

@CSMFHT Unironically, the latin judiciary system

@CSMFHT That stray dog who saved the abandoned Romulus and Remus bastards on a river adopted by Italians as wolf mother of the nation. Italians have a stray dog feeding bastards as mother of the nation! Mythology imported from Dacia! Which had the wolf as a totally different symbol.

@CSMFHT The renaissance

@CSMFHT Lately I am wondering if it was the roads… they needed them to march supplies during conquest and they did so well that the phrase “all roads lead to Rome” is a thing!

@CSMFHT Language and pretty much every people of Europe has their "creation" myth from Roman times.

@CSMFHT Roads, Latin, universal empire, and Ciceronian rhetoric. Yes, I said it. Cicero is the Roman GOAT.

@CSMFHT Its alphabet or the city of Rome itself.

@CSMFHT July (Julius) and August (Augustus) of current calendar
