the Aqueducts?
Biggus Dickus is still the best Roman alive.
The aqueducts, sanitation, roads (which goes without saying), irrigation, education, the wine, public baths, safety, and public health.
We wouldn't have sequels today if it weren't for the Romans.
Romanus eunt domus!
They killed that Jesus guy. If he was allowed to live, he probably would have had us all running around caring for the sick and poor and loving our neighbors (mine aren't even attractive!) and all that self-righteous hippie bullshit. Bullet dodged, huh?
It's interesting, there's a highly regarded ancient historian who agree with you:
Obelix of Gaul was often quoted as saying "These Romans are crazy!", referring to the backwards and silly ways they did everything. His opus magnum, although written on a large stone obelisk, expertly detailed how useless they really were.
I believe they invented sliced bread, hence the expression "the best thing not built in a day."
Romans is not a word, maybe you meant Romulans? Please at least get the names right when you are asking us to do your history homework
Sanitation?
Roads. Roads EVERYWHERE. In fact, if Atlantis hadn't been conquered and sunk by the Lost Legion, we'd still have the Paxifica land-sea bridge.
Oh, and a pun about seeing, conquering, and coming.
And for that matter, they named everything on Earth. Kinda makes you re-think those Bible issues.
Brought peace?
And what have YOU ever done for the Roman?
The Aquaduct?
Ask not what the Romans have done for you, ask what you have done for the Romans.
Numerals!
That's a very good question. I mean, while cheap roads and wonders are useful, they really don't compare to the population boost provided by Mao, or the flexibility provided by Gandhi's ability to avoid anarchy and produce settlers for half the cost. I suppose the Romans gave us the Republic, but everybody else figures that out within a few thousand years anyway, so it's really not a significant factor in modern times.
They inspired the phrase Senatus Populusque Americanus. Their pursuit granting freedom to all the peoples of the Mediterranean inspired America's founding fathers and the American foreign policy.
Historically, most Romans have not been good news. They keep getting into danger, falling in with the wrong kind of crowd, and just when you're about to get busy with a girl, they have a tendency to want to go bowling.
They gave us someone to look up to. All the aqueducts, sanitation, etc was lost in the dark ages, but ever since then every great empire has compared themselves to the Romans
Without them Times would still be using old roman.
Well we ought to know, I mean we do as the Romans do. Especially in Rome.
They made us better at grammar. Though admittedly, 1/10 circumcised males did not finish before dawn, and their balls were cut off.
Brought peace?
They brought us the Ethiopian Shim Sham.
