Stone Columns
Till this day we still have stone columns, Ionic columns, Doric columns, and Corinthian.

All road lead to Rome
We still you roads today and even years ago. Roads helps people to get to one place to another, the roads were used to link far-away provinces with Rome and army used them to move soldiers quickly. Roads have helped out our daily lives a lot even till this day with different transportation. John Loudon Adam designs the first modern road. He developed paving material and stone aggregate. Before roads there was really much nothing People went on horse, wagons or walked to where they had to go even if it was a long way to get there. You have different types of highways they are divide highways, country road, state highway, U.S highway, freeways, and many more. Roads have somewhat effected the people today in a bad way because some roads are curvy and dangerous which can cause for people to get into a bad car accident and car accidents are one of the leading cause of death. Another negative way that roads have affected people is that road traffic kills about 1.24 million people each year. Positive way, roads Help people in the community out by going to school or taking produce to a market. This is how roads have impacted our life in a negative and positive way in the past and present.
Gregorian Calendars
Calendars are very useful and important to today’s society and even many of years ago.
Calendars can be used in many different way like to remember appointments, bills and payments that you have to pay, and could be used to book things like making a reservation to a nice restaurant. This calendar was developed by Pope Gregory during the middle Ages. The Gregorian calendar has affect people’s lives in a
positive way because it help people to keep up with important thing that they have to do or have planned. The calendar is used all around the world for keeping track of time. Facts about the Gregorian calendar is that before this calendar was even made people rely on the Julian calendar. Before the calendar was made the New Year used to start on March, 25th. Another fact is that the Gregorian calendar is not the only calendar used around that world. Many years ago people back then calculated a month by the length of time it takes the moon to orbit the earth and began a new phase. Some people in Britain did not agree with having the calendars, so riots started to break out. In my opinion I think that calendars have affect our lives in a positive way because calendars can help people to stay on top of things, prepare for important meetings or interviews that you have and to work towards a goal. This is calendars helps
people.
