Rome's Written laws

Ten men who protected the rights of the plebeians

Leaders chosen by the Senate, had veto power

Lawmaking body for the patrician

A code of laws collected from many city-states. The main idea was to make the punishment fit the crime. Eye for an eye justice.

A code of laws given by their one god Yahweh. The laws were carved on stone tablets and established the first monotheistic belief system.

A document that outlined citizens’ rights and laws that were democratically voted on by the people.

Displayed in the open market surrounded by government buildings, these laws carved on bronze tablets were displayed openly and publicly so all would know the law.

Obligations or rules that Muslims must follower to honor Allah.

Gently sloping bridges that used gravity to supply Roman cities with fresh water.

In some city-states the people wanted to honor their gods by building multi-functional temples on the highest spot. The problem was, there were no mountains, so they made their own structure out of sun-dried mud brick

In other city-states they already had mountains and they built huge temples out of marble to honor their gods. Symmetry was very important. They supported the friezes and triangular roofs by using this architectural advancement.

These huge structures were national building projects that historians believe were considered a “work tax”. They were very geometrically shaped and seem like too much work just for one person’s tomb.

The civilization that used this architectural advancement used it for its looks and its function and borrowed it from an earlier group of people. Two opposing forces leaning against each other could support incredible amounts of weight.
