Compare/contrast Roman roads to modern roads The Romans created many useful objects that people use today. For example‚ they created arches‚ domes‚ pizza‚ and many other great things. The strong Roman road stuck out in my mind because we use roads everyday. The modern road wouldn’t be strong and durable enough if the tough Roman road wasn’t created.
