As the saying goes, Rome wasn t made in a day , how long did it take for the city of Rome to be bui

It's a saying, there's no point in pursuing this, it's like freezing three feet, not a day's cold, and we know what he means is telling us to be persevering, and it doesn't make sense to pursue it for a few days to freeze three feet.

It seems that the city of Rome took more than 10 years to take shape.

The myth that Rome was created in one day was a fallacy, and for a time it was believed, and in fact later a philosopher pointed out that it was wrong.

Yes, it wasn't built in a day!

This part of Rome has been inhabited for a long time, but the city was founded relatively late. The city of Rome is said to have been founded in 753 BC by the brothers Romulus and Lemos. Archaeological evidence shows that settlements of some size began to form along the left bank of the Tiber during this period, and then gradually expanded to form the early Roman city in the 6th century BC.

Therefore, not only did the city of Rome not be built in a day, but it took nearly two centuries to reach its original size.

Rome was powerful, but after all, the city no longer existed. However, its influence is extremely far-reaching, and its degree is far beyond the imagination of ordinary Chinese people. The China we live in today is, on a material basis, a Roman world.

1. The source of architecture of the urban architecture we live in today comes from Rome, from urban planning to architectural theory, which continues to this day. In fact, when you look at the architecture of Rome, you will find a striking resemblance to today;

2. Rome's sewers, running water, and even the entire city water supply system are the standard configuration of today's civilized world. It wasn't until the 19th century that London's population surpassed that of the ancient city of Rome. The importance of the water supply system to the city's population ceiling cannot be overstated.

3. Rome's engineering achievements are outstanding, especially the standards and craftsmanship of road construction, which are almost modern and pure road paving, and it can be said that no country can match it until the late Middle Ages. It is called "a wall buried in the ground". Some of the roads built in Roman times are still in operation today;

4: Rome was the first major civilization in the world to establish a professional military patrol force - note that I am writing about important civilizations. Spartan Mycenaean Carthage also had so-called professional troops, and the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States also had some small-scale aristocratic armed forces, but the influence of civilization and the size of the army were not of the same level and type.

The formal professionalization of the army in China was a matter after the Tang Dynasty.

5: The achievements of Roman jurisprudence had a profound impact on later generations and were the origin of modern law. The alternative name for today's civil law system is the Roman law system.

6: Among the many important civilizations since the birth of the earth, Rome is the source of monogamy, and the property rights, marriage rights, family and blood systems derived from this basis constitute an important part of the feudal political system of the later Middle Ages, and have a direct impact on the formation of modern monogamy.
