The legacies of Roman art, architecture, technology, science, literature, language, and law include: 1) Major advances in architecture including widespread use of arches, domes, concrete, aqueducts, and public works like baths, amphitheaters, and roads. The Pantheon is an exemplar of Roman architectural achievements. 2) Developments in technology and science including extensive use of aqueducts, indoor plumbing, sewage systems, and advanced construction techniques that influenced later Western societies. 3) Establishment of Latin as the dominant language in government and literature throughout Western Europe for over a thousand years, with enduring influences on modern languages.
