19. Ancient roman technology
Aqueduct
The Romans constructed aqueducts throughout their
Republic and later Empire, to bring water from outside
sources into cities and towns. Aqueduct water supplied
public baths, latrines, fountains, and private
households; it also supported mining operations,
milling, farms, and gardens.

20. Concrete
Many ancient Roman structures like the Pantheon,
the Colosseum and the Roman Forum are still
standing today thanks to the development of Roman
cement and concrete. The Romans first began
building with concrete over 2,100 years ago and used
it throughout the Mediterranean basin in everything
from aqueducts and buildings to bridges and
monuments.

21. Daily News
The Romans were known to contribute to public discourse through the use of official texts detailing
military, legal and civil issues. Known as Acta Diurna, or “daily acts,” these early newspapers were
written on metal or stone and then posted in heavily trafficked areas like the Roman Forum. Acta are
believed to have first appeared around 131 B.C. and typically included details of Roman military
victories, lists of games and gladiatorial bouts, birth and death notices and even human interest
stories.

22. Glass Blowing
Roman glass objects have been recovered across the
Roman Empire in domestic, industrial and funerary
contexts. Glass was used primarily for the
production of vessels, although mosaic tiles and
window glass were also produced. Roman glass
production developed from Hellenistic technical
traditions, initially concentrating on the production
of intensely colored cast glass vessels. However,
during the 1st century AD the industry underwent
rapid technical growth that saw the introduction of
glass blowing and the dominance of colorless or
'aqua' glasses.
