What have the Romans done for us?

Without doubt the Romans have had a huge influence on how we live our lives today. So it is not the case of asking what the Romans have done for us but rather what is the most IMPORTANT thing they have done for us? I personally think it is their contribution to our language; they have given us so many words we use on a day-to-day basis. What do you think is the most important thing the Romans have done for us? remember to explain your point.

the romans have built roads and entertaining places and how to transport water.

Jack Hepworth said...

I think the Romans did some thinks for us like sanitisation by building public baths and aqueducts. This meant we have good sanitisation today like baths in our homes and seperate toilets. The Romans also taught people how to capture food this is why we have food on our plates today. Finally one thing the Romans didn't do for us is kill people. The Roman killed lots of people in battles from Gaul and Iberia. They alsokilled there own trops in diffrent ways one of these was decimation this is where the Roamns killed one in every 10 soliders in 1 century. This is why i think people kill today.

Hiya They gave us good sanitation of water

Jack hayward said...

I think the most inportant thing that the romans have done for us would have to be the hygenic/hygene issues as well as the water from the aqueduct so in one manor it is good that the romans took over the unighted kingdom or we wouldn't have: medicines, hygene, roads or the good architecture.
(we would probally still have these in present time just not as progressed).

Kirsty Brooke said...

I think that the most important thing that the Romans did for us was give us medicines, doctors and hospitals because without them then most of the world would be dead and the very few people that did survive would probably die very soon after them. Also I think that by them helping us with our health then the whole Human race would be extinct but because of the Romans we repoplulated and now our race can never die out!

Well, I think the romans have done quite alot for us british bringing wine and exotic plants to our country.The most importants things they brought were hospitals so we dont die and entertainment so we can have fun.Roads or we wouldn't really know where we were going and buildings and baths so dieseases arn't spreded as much and our hygine would also help dieseases not spreading.

I think the biggest impact of the romans on Britain was personal hygene like the aqauduct,public baths,baths and toilets in each house (even pesant houses)and many others. This is because it helped people live longer, it stopped diseases (like cholera).

roman roads
with out roads most of our car's that are not off roaders will be useuless

KatieHayes7CGC said...

I think the most significant event in the roman times was the languages because if we didnt have our latin word to borrow from, we wouldnt have the words/languages we do today. For examle...Latin has influenced British and French, we have borrowed some of the Latin words...e.g: Exit. We dont know how we would be talking if we didnt have the Latin language to use as a template, although we might have influenced and got our language from another language. from Katie Hayes 7CGC.

The Romans left irrigation and roads which is good so we're not walking in swamps.

The most important things that the romans have done for us is that they brought money over from other countries and languages where brought over from different countries and now we have words from different countries such as latin, french and spainish

I think that the most significant event in the roman legacy was the medicine because if people got a very serious illness, they could have a risk of dying. The population will rapidly decrease which will also mean less employment. Most students in our form have put about the roman roads as being the most significant event in the roman legacy. There wont be many people using the roads if it wasn`t for the medicane because of the population. This is why i think the medicine was the most significant event in the roman legacy.

I think that the Roman roads was the most important because, they built the M1 (Scotland - London or London - Scotland)and they always built there roads straight, so you travelled the shortest distance and you could travel faster and easily. This means that when you went to fight or conker other countries the horses wouldn't find it hard, because the roads where smooth and they wouldn't fall over any large gravel.
And that's why I think the Roman roads was the most Important thing that the Romans did for us !!! :)

I think the most important legacy the Romans gave us was founding large, important cities such as London. These are necessary to represent our country, lead the country and base the most important places and people there, for example parliament.
The second most important would be the languages, which we developed for everyday use.
