In addition, the roads made communication more efficient and movement of military easier across the empire. Also, the structure and materials of their roads made them last longer, and some of the roads are still used today. Romans called their roads "viae".

Overall, Roman's science and engineering accomplishments have impacted the way of life for its people and have spread it's influence to other civilizations and today's society.
