Reviews of Classical Rome

I connected and recognized all of Emily N's comparisons with Ancient Roman furniture to modern application.  A lot of the Roman furniture is used today in luxurious settings and Victorian-inspired interior design.  Master suites, spas, and even high-end department stores use this type of design today, and thus showing how versatile their innovations have proven to be.

I appreciated John E's connection with the innovation in Ancient Roman road work, and how it became a source of power in mobilization.  The stone paving also doubled as a drainage system for the city.  They were built to last while having amazing intricacy for showmanship.  Its practicality and rich visual appeal made the Romans the master of road construction.
