Many people think that the roman empire was massive. Well actually, the Roman empire was smaller than the US! Now here are 10 technological edges that the Romans had.
1.Their aqueducts were probably the thing that they were known most for. They would usually start at some mountain then traveling over hundreds of miles to some city. Then a smaller one would hook up to a reservoir then the water would be shipped off by pipes to fountains, bathes, and villas.
Now if you have any questions just leave a comment then I will answer it in my next blog.

Very interesting, John! Did you know that your Aunt Robin and I went to Rome one time? We stayed at a hotel right next door to the Vatican. The Sistine Chapel was amazing! We also saw the Coliseum, which over half has been destroyed. Do you know why?
The Italians used it as a rock quarry in later years.
Very,cool John I did not know that by the way Matthew is commenting.
Dear Uncle Bill,
It is because the people in the dark ages were hungry for stones, so they took it from the Coliseum. They didn't have any quarries to get stone from.
