These are only a few of the many, obviously the roads were not rome's invention but they vastly improved them, same as the roman law, but their laws of the 12 tablets, from Greek law, and the eventual Theodoscian Code as well as Justinian, still roman at that time, Corpus Civis Legis which was the basis of law until Napoleon modified it.

roads were important, but sewage imo helped not only health issues but possibly moral of people too. i know id be happier with clean roads and not poo covered ones ;) after all, if everyone was sick from disease coming from open sewage... how could they build roads?

I would have picked law and government too, if I had lived in continental Europe. But living in the Anglosphere with its Anglo-Saxon common law traditions, I've never experienced Roman legal codes first hand.

 

Their widespread use of concrete might be another innovation to consider

 

 

Excellent point.
