Ancient+Rome

__Ancient Rome__

I found the article had lots of good points, including that Rome and the Untied States have Armys, that are super powerful. Like the Romans had roads for the army to travel, we have the internet like a "mega road" so we can see what is happening in other countries, and highways.

Another point is that the Romans were very advanced in technology. The United States, like i stated above, made the internet, another thing they made was Disney Land. The Romans were very advanced in building.

Like Star Bucks popping up in random places, the Romans also "made their mark", leaving something to show that they were in a place.

The Romans got their people/ followers by providing baths and heating... Just like the States does with fancy shops and stores.

The States doesn't realize how much of the things that they do today came back all the way from the Romans.

nice review 10/10
