the announcements of the Roman
Empire to its people. It was invented
before the making of papers, The

the papers but it was able to
improve the cover by using animal
skins to make it stronger and lasts
longer and through this Roman
Empire was able to produce the
first book or known as the Codex.

The Roman architecture was

considered and the continuation
of the Greek architecture. The
Romans were able to adapt new
buildings and engineering
technology on architectural
designs that were established in
the past. They were able to
redesign old architectural
patterns to adapt the new
trends at that time and with
that they were able to
implement major projects such
as large churches (Cathedrals
and Basilicas), Aqueducts,
Coliseums, Amphitheaters and
residental houses

Romans devised their own

number system known as the
Roman Numerals to address
the need for a standard
counting method that would
meet their increasing
communication and trade
concerns.
