Throughout this exploration, the text highlights Rome’s enduring cultural and technological legacy, examining significant innovations in engineering, military technology, medicine, and the arts. Romans were creating art just because they loved art which for us is a very obvious thing again in modern day. Other cultures like were a bit idealistic with their art whereas the Romans were like quite prepared to show people how they were the same with wall painting. Other cultures did wall paintings Etruscans or the Minoans even long before But the Romans again were just ambitious more ambitious than anybody else So they would have a room in their villa and they'd say "Okay I wanna paint the whole room and make it look like I'm in a forest." But people didn't do that before You had one wall Whereas they've created like this 3D stuff which we know from sites like Pompeii so again ambitious and art just for its own beauty. I think that's what they added to world art. #romans #roman #book #newrelease #history #worldhistory
