Aqueducts, paved roads, non-idealized sculpture, a bureaucratic hierarchy later incorporated into the Catholic Church, linguistic influences from Moscow to Lisbon, the idea of an empire that had representative republican centralized government of all its provinces, and which adopted much of the culture of the conquered and enslaved Greeks and some of the conquered and enslaved Judaeans, the stripes on Jewish prayer shawls and the custom of leaning to the left while eating and drinking at the Passover feast...their version of slavery...drunken orgies and decadence...

What didn’t the Romans give the world.
