Ancient Rome: Built to Last

Ancient Rome’s enduring legacy springs from its blend of laws, military discipline, and cultural innovations. The civilization’s legal codes, social hierarchy, impressive military structure, and engineering feats, such as roads and baths, formed the pillars of a society that thrived for centuries. Rome, famously "not built in a day," showcased engineering and organizational skills that influenced the world long after its decline.

Key Facts

Legal Foundation: The Twelve Tables were Rome’s first written laws, setting the groundwork for Roman legal tradition.

Social Structure: Rome maintained a rigid hierarchy, sharply dividing classes from patricians to plebeians.

Military Might: The Roman army was highly organized, disciplined, and crucial to Rome’s expansion and control.

Engineering Marvels: Roman roads connected vast territories, while baths featured sophisticated heating and water systems.

Political Evolution: The Roman emperors symbolized Rome’s shift from Republic to Empire, maintaining centralized control.

Historical Context

Ancient Rome evolved from a small city-state to a sprawling empire covering much of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Its culture combined law, military strategy, and monumental architecture, influencing Western civilization profoundly.

Historical Significance

Rome’s innovations in law, governance, and infrastructure set models followed by many societies throughout history. Roman legal principles remain embedded in many modern legal systems, and their road networks and engineering techniques laid the foundation for transportation and urban planning in the West. The Roman Empire’s cultural legacy continues to shape art, literature, and political thought today.

Rome wasn’t just built with bricks and mortar; it was built on law, order, and innovation—creating a world that still echoes in our modern lives.

Touring the Roman Baths in Bath, England

We visited the Roman Baths while in Bath, England, for our oldest child’s graduation, and gazed upon 2,000 years of history. We also gazed upon a few naked Romans! But Bob was upset that they wouldn’t let him soak in the medicinal water. The Roman Baths are one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe, according to the Baths’ website, romanbaths.co.uk/.

“Once the site of one of the great religious spas of the ancient world, the people of Roman Britain came to the site to worship the goddess Sulis Minerva and bathe in the waters of the natural thermal springs, which still flow with hot water today,” says the website. “Today visitors can explore the Roman Baths complex, walk on the original Roman pavements and see the ruins of the Temple of Sulis Minerva.

"The museum collection, located next to the bathing complex, includes a gilt bronze head of the Goddess Sulis Minerva, and other Roman artifacts.”

The cost per person was about $23, and you buy your tickets in advance for a timed entry.

Enjoy Bob’s irreverent take on this ancient site!
