Modern artists and architects have incorporated Roman techniques.
American ideas about government were shaped by Roman beliefs.
Explanation:
Ancient Rome gave the modern world Roman law, some architectural forms and solutions (for example, an arch and a dome), and many other innovations (for example, wheeled water mills).
The most significant contribution to the political system of modern Europe was the legal system. Roman law underlies all modern civil jurisprudence, it forms the foundation of the general theory of civil law. Much of modern legal reality is borrowed from Roman law, for example, the institutions of legal status, legal capacity, legal entity have their origin in the legal system of ancient Rome.
Among all the known empires, Rome possessed the most developed publicly demonstrated civilian component, which even in the later stages of development coexisted with the component of citizenship. It is difficult to say how modern the United States can be called an empire, however, some purely imperial qualities - in particular, the category of "national interests" as a reflection of thinking on a planetary scale - are certainly inherent in modern American political culture. At the same time, the significance of civic culture, a culture of political participation for the United States is at least no less important than for Rome.
The role of Roman heritage in world architecture is extremely large. For centuries, the monuments of Roman architecture, which are a living embodiment of the ancient tradition, influenced architects of various historical eras. The measure of their impact was not the same in different periods, but on the basis of Italy, the ancient tradition remained unbroken. The rationality of typological solutions developed by Roman architecture has caused stability of many architectural types. European modern theaters have long reproduced without significant changes the type of Roman covered odeon; the triumphal arches and columns ‘born’ of the victories of the Roman emperors were successfully used in European architecture of the 18-19th centuries, and modern stadiums are very close to their prototype - the Roman amphitheater.
