(Also- look at the last pages of this document to see other examples of Roman inventions which you may want to include in your diamond 9.)

The Romans invented underfloor heating, concrete and the calendar that our modern calendar is based on. Concrete played an important part in Roman building: helping them construct structures like aqueducts that included arches. If you are able to, research more about Roman inventions.

Some Roman inventions- think about the effect these had on our lives today before ranking them in order of most important to least.

Can you imagine a world without roads?

What if money wasn’t invented?

What has the impact been on society?

What would modern life be like without it?

Think of all the buildings that are made from concrete. Your house perhaps?

Nowadays we have leisure centres and swimming pools

Would you miss a radiator in your home during the winter?

What would we do without one of these in our homes?
