"Rome fell but its legacy lived on" from the Roman Empire it is the Roman laws, their philosophy, and the citizenship given to the people that have had the greatest and one of the most important impacts on society.This quote meant that the Roman Empire had fallen but their traditions, events, and the things they did continue but in a different way today. How they did their architecture, a lot of what we do was first based off the Roman's and how they built structures.

This is what we have from them in today's society. "The inheritance of a Roman citizen-freedman is made over to his patron, if the freedman has died intestate and has no natural successor. (The twelve tablets )" This is even talking about their inheritance which we have plenty laws about. This definitely is proving my claim because our laws are from them. The government has made the laws that are enforced everywhere. This is why we have jails, police officers, and all law enforcement so the laws that had started by the Roman's could be enforced and make sure no one breaks them. The the laws that have started by them were for peace among the people and not everyone would do bad things and steal and by them doing that it has given us a lot more peace than we would have without it. Our laws can be found at governmental buildings and online so the people can be told what to do and what punishments can happen. They are seen being enforced on the highways, schools, streets, buildings, and really everywhere to make sure they are being obeyed.next,citizen ship today is what tells if you are a american which has came from the Roman's citizenship. Would you like to be without something that tells if you belong on that land and are part of the people?
