Ancient Civ

The Roman Empire showcased incredible engineering feats through their use of concrete and volcanic ash, excelling in constructing bridges, buildings, and aqueducts that supplied water. With the evolution of laws, Rome unified its citizens under one legal system, ensuring diversity was tolerated. This period saw significant religious movements, including the rise of Christianity with Jesus of Nazareth preaching forgiveness and moral teachings, establishing a following amid tensions with the Roman authorities. The Jewish rebellion against Rome ultimately led to tragedy, shaping the course of history.
