The Romans took over the Mediterranean when the Greeks faltered militarily. The Greek arts were recognized by the Romans as something worthy of having, so the Latins copied the Greeks' work and took Greeks home to do the teaching.

Let us dive in upon the Roman arts. For the sake of this unit we will expand the artful architectural world to include building technology. For the Romans taught the world much about the art of engineering.

Each powerpoint report should face the issue of what was different between the Roman and earlier Greek version of the item.
