Pag.7 es.5

In my opinion the Romans were very advanced, they built some very good roads, walls and a lot of architecture structure. Some are still standing today and this shows what good builders they were. Indeed, they built some streets in every place that they conquered. In Britain, they built over 9.600 kilometres of roads that joined the towns together. Streets used by the troops and for transporting goods. The most important monument in Britain was Hadrian’s wall. It was an achievement where there were small forts and garrisons. it stretched from the east cost to the west coast between England and Scotland and it was built to protect Scotland from invasion. It is true that Romans had built a lot of defensive walls to defend to enemy population. But this construction and the unwillingness to join other population brought to the fall of the Roman Empire. Indeed, most towns were surrounded by stone walls. In the centre of their towns the was the forum. Forum was the civic and the commercial centre. Here there were a basilica and the public baths. It was a healing spa and meeting place. When Romans, with emperor Claudius, arrived to Britain, they wanted to involved the tribes in the administration. They tried to change the administration of Britain. Finally, Romans were a great Empire. They wanted conquered the population of other civilization and they wanted govern they by imposing their policy. They never wanted to be submissive.
