The Romans still matter because they have left a lasting impact on our language, laws, and customs. Their physical legacy, with cities, roads, and monuments, is a constant reminder of their audacity and achievements. The Romans offer a glimpse into a world where humans were untethered, living on the edge with both wonders and flaws. Their rich and diverse history allows us to reflect on our own achievements and serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of human civilizations. Walking through Roman sites evokes a sense of humility and connection to the people who once inhabited those spaces. They inspire us through their examples, warnings, and models, and demonstrate the full spectrum of human experience.
