Throughout the Roman Empire, there have been many new inventions and advances in their architecture and many are still there in Rome today. There were also many people who would put a lot of effort and time into building Rome’s greatest temples and churches. For example, the aqueduct, Colosseum, and The Pantheon were three of the most famous and well preserved designs in Roman history. Including that there were a mass of materials and tools that were used, the designers were perfectionists and would stop until they get each measurement, increment, and configuration was the best that it can possibly be.

First early architects learned a lot of planning skills and how to measure and use different tools. Nevertheless, architects came from all walks of life, from freedmen all the way up to the Emperor Hadrian, and they were responsible for all aspects of building on a project. Romans were typically focused on the forum (a large open plaza surrounded by important buildings), which was the civic, religious, and economic heart of the city. Pompeii, Italy is an excellent example of a city with a well preserved forum. In the city there were also many different styles of homes based on a certain class structure. The wealthy could own a house (domus) in the city as well as a country farmhouse (villa), while the less fortunate lived in multi-story apartment buildings called insulae. However, that was just before Rome got more advanced techniques from other types of cities around …show more content…
Without the aqueduct or water, the civilization of Rome would collapse of dehydration. The route chosen for the aqueduct required that a short tunnel would be dug through a hill. Every twenty yards, vertical shafts were sunk from the surface of the hill to the level of the proposed aqueduct. Next, it had to be built with a constant slope from beginning to end to keep water moving. The aqueduct also reaches and connects to every single well, kitchen, bathroom, fountain, and water structure for each city. For twenty miles the aqueduct ran alongside the main highway, and the laborers would often stop to watch the endless procession of merchants and farmers. Plus, since the aqueducts would be at a remotely far hight, people could view it from any fairly long distance. During the fifth year of construction, the aqueduct turned away from the highway and two years later, it was completed. To sum up, the aqueduct was a very important invention that was used
