- The Romans revolutionized engineering, just like they did with architecture.They were the best builders of aqueducts (a pipe or channel built to carry water over a long distance)roads, and bridge'sin the ancient world.
- Law
- English is a Germanic language, but it was strongly influenced by the Normans, who spoke french, who conquered England in 1066 C.E. English has borrowed heavily from Latin, both directly and by way of French. So many languages were based off of Latin or at lease had some sort of influence from it.
