There were many ways that Roman culture has affected our culture. There is a colosseum in Rome that was used for sports like chariot racing and running. Here in Los Angeles, there is also one. Romans also built aqueducts, and that has helped us a lot for rivers. The Romans also invented forms of languages, like Spanish, and the Romance languages.

It has affected us because rome had the olympic games.The idea of football came from Rome.Most of the languages we speak now in the U.S. came from Rome ,for example french,italian,spanish,and english.The idea here for roads came from Rome they had made many fancy roads.Today,we have been making, buildings with designs based on Roman art.Another example is that the idea of a stadium came from Rome like when the Romans crowded up the stadium like we do now.

The Roman civilization affected the U.S. culture in many ways. One of the most important ones is the English language and the alphabet and the calender. Some words like stadium and arena are from the Latin language. The U.S. architecture is also influenced by the Romans. Many sports arenas are made like Roman buildings.

The Romans achievements have affected us today.Roman achievements have affected the United States today by their language .We still have Roman legacy in our english and spanish. Also the stadiums of today are inspired by the Roman collissiums. Such as the Los Angeles collissium was made like a Roman collissium. Those were some of the things that affected the U.S.

Their architecture is built today.For example,we use aqueducts and highways like they used to. We wright words a bit different but with the same root word and the same alphabet.
