What did the Romans ever do for us?



I dont know who "us" is, but probably roads and writing?


I think reference is in order... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ


Ohhh, haha thanks, now it makes sense who "us" is ;)


Well obviously the roads, the roads go without saying, don't they?


Those aren't roman inventions…


Roman-built roads and the spread of Latin were tremendously important. Noone said they were invented by them.


Yes they did… they edited their comment after I responded and could no longer edit mine.

You just looking for an argument? Its important people know writing and roads weren’t invented by the romans. They are given way too much credit by Americans with imperial ambitions.


I mean, I guess the aqueduct was a nice thing?!
