	The Influence of Roman Engineering and Architecture
		In fact, it is because of the superior engineering skills and architectural ideas possessed by the Romans, and respected by others, that allowed them to conquer, influence and rule such a vast area of the world, for such an extended period of time.
		The Roman use of the arch itself, which had never been used to such a great extent before, is itself the main reason they were able to build the huge and influential structures that they were.
		They respected and admired the Roman’s superior abilities and innovations and were therefore easier to conquer and less likely to revolt, allowing the Romans to expand their empire and maintain their influence for such a long time.

	TVM Entry Floor: Roman Engineering
		The devotion of the ancient Greeks to the house built around a court led to an almost total disappearance of windows in their architecture, since each room was lighted by a door to the central, colonnaded court.
		The Roman state religion was an amalgam of gods and conventions from several cultures, but it was primarily derived from the Greek pantheon.
		Roman architecture of temples was pretty straight-forward and in general it followed the same pattern.

	Roman engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the Romans are generally famous for their advanced engineering accomplishments, most of their own inventions were improvements on older ideas, concepts and inventions.
		Roads were common at that time, but the Romans improved their design and perfected the construction methodologies to the extent that many of their roads are still in use today.
		The Romans discovered that substituting or supplementing the sand with a pozzolanic additive, such as volcanic ash, would produce a very hard cement, known as hydraulic mortar or hydraulic cement.

	Record - Jan. 17, 2003
		As department chair, Roman is exceedingly proud of the department's accomplishments, which he mainly attributes to a culture that promotes innovative research, teaching excellence and high regard for the quality of life of both faculty and students.
		Roman's greatest challenge turned out to be building up the faculty in the face of multiple retirements, aggressive recruiting efforts by other schools and a highly competitive climate.
		Roman met his wife, Diane, a Pennsylvania native, in a computer science class at Penn. They have a daughter, Ophelia, 20, a sophomore at Penn, who wants a political career, and son, Nathaniel, 16, a University City High School sophomore who leans toward computing.

	RFC 2551 (rfc2551) - The Roman Standards Process -- Revision III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Roman Standards process is an activity of the Roman Society that is organized and managed on behalf of the Roman community by the Roman Architecture Board (RAB) and the Roman Engineering Steering Group (RESG).
		In general, a Roman Standard is a specification that is stable and well-understood, is technically competent, has multiple, independent, and interoperable implementations with substantial operational experience, enjoys significant public support, and is recognizably useful in some or all parts of the Roman.
		A Roman Standard (which may simply be referred to as a Standard) is characterized by a high degree of technical maturity and by a generally held belief that the specified protocol or service provides significant benefit to the Roman community.

	::Roman Engineering::
		Roman engineering led to the building of some remarkable engineering feats that have survived to this day throughout western Europe - be they roads, theatres, baths or Hadrian's Wall.
		Engineering was used as a way of improving the lifestyle of the Romans even on day-to-day issues such as a frequent water supply.
		In England, the baths at Bath are not only indicative of the building skills that the Romans had but also their use of a natural resource for their own benefit.

	Commentary: Roman Engineering from Bill Hammack's Engineering & Life Radio Program
		But in many ways the engineering achievements of the Greeks pale when compared to the Romans, who were most proud of their work, especially the aqueducts.
		Here is the cry of the aqueducts Roman Administrator: "I ask you, just compare with the vast monuments of this vital aqueduct those useless pyramids, or the good-for-nothing tourists attractions of the Greeks!" Without realizing it, he was highlighting the great contribution of the Romans to engineering: They set the profession firmly on economic principles.
		So, with the baths the Roman engineers began the trend toward a consumer culture based on luxury because the public baths weren't needed anymore than a soft drink or a microwave oven is today.

	The Water Supply of Carthage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The result was one of the longest aqueducts built anywhere in the Roman Empire stretching for some 132 km from Zaghouan to Carthage.
		The start of the aqueduct is a spring near to the modern town of Zaghouan where it can be seen running beside the road at ground level, so it does not look terribly significant, but it is still in use today supplying water in the area of Zaghouan.
		Some signs of the Roman engineering are more obvious than others as can be seen from this picture where the aqueduct crosses a wadi.

		As the empire expanded, these engineers planned and built cities throughout three continents that had logic, that had ample water by way of aqueducts, that had water distribution systems, sewers, paved streets with curbs and devices to slow traffic, public baths and public toilets, buildings devoted to culture and entertainment, warehouses, shops, homes and tenements.
		Roman City was a PBS production built around David Macaulay's illustrated book, City: A Story of Roman Planning and Engineering.
		Roman City, with Macaulay as narrator, opens up his book with location shots at several ancient Roman cities such as Pompeii, Herculaneum and Ostia, as well as with illustrations taken from the book and with animation.

		They certainly had great interest in engineering projects and an ability to apply their knowledge in solving problems of architecture and urbanism.
		Etruscan kings undertook major engineering projects such as draining the swampy valleys on which much of early Rome was built and providing the city with its first civic and hygienic substructures such as roads, drains, sewage lines, and fresh water supply.
		As Roman law defined and protected the rights and privileges if its citizens, Roman planning and architectural technology insured them a wholesome and civilized microcosmos, an urban world of shared experience and expectations, the stamp of romanitas, from Syria to Scotland.

		At its fourth edition, the 2006 Program is devoted to the study of Roman civil engineering from the late Republic to the late Empire in the city of Rome and in surrounding locations.
		The 2006 Program in Roman Structures offers the students the unique opportunity to examine these monumental structures on location, while engaging in a detailed examination of the engineering principles underlying their structural function and construction, and exploring the roles and the practices of the architect/engineers, builders, and laborers that build them.
