Rome and Brindizie were very strong and powerful because they had a next to unstoppable and extremely well disciplined military. For example, their diet shows us much about the Roman nutritional ideas. Naturally the officers of the army enjoyed a more versatile diet. Whenever possible the monotonous army diet was naturally supplemented with whatever came to hand such as pork, fish, chicken, cheese, fruit or vegetables. But the basic ration of frumentum always formed the basis of their diet. 1 Archaeologists working along Hadrian's Wall in Northern Britain discovered records for the household of a commander of a fort from around 100 AD. These records list choice cuts of pork, even piglet, chicken, venison, anchovies, oysters, eggs, radishes, apples, lentils, beans, lard and butter.

12 The pluming system that was much like the modern system that we have today.

Towards the end of the Roman republic, with the increased wealth of a part of Roman society education began to further improve, including also a form of higher education in subjects such as philosophy and oratory9. The children of the wealthy went to primary school from about the age of seven. Such schools would usually be housed in a simple shop, with open access to the street. One teacher would run it and the children would sit on simple benches.

Rome and Brindizy became a very strong and Power full nations because of their Technology. The aqueducts12 were just one way of providing the water needs of a community. In order to tap the existing water sources of the vast geographical and climatic terrain occupied by the Roman empire, ingenious, and traditionally proven methods, such as dams, cisterns, siphons, and water-lifting wheels were also used. In the arid desert climate of North Africa, many of the present-day oases, such as the Oasis near Gabes in Tunisia had been developed by Roman engineers. The remains of a Roman dam built of blocks of sandstone improved the natural desert source and created a large reservoir of water .

The discipline of the republican army is legendary. However, it is believed to be somewhat exaggerated by Roman historians keen to show that discipline of earlier generations had been firmer than that of their own. Though it was indeed the case that a strict system of rewards and punishments was applied to the conscripted soldiers. 3 But discipline was not necessarily so strict as to blunt the citizen-soldier's individual initiative. Intelligent, independent-minded soldiers who worked together as a unit no doubt posed a signifitly greater threat to an enemy, than blindly obedient men who only did what they were told.

5 Corporal punishment- the striking of a person’s body as punishment

One of the best preserved and most impressive operations in taming a torrential and uneven waterway is the dam built across the wide and hauntingly beautiful valley of River Rhyndacus, near Aezane in Asia Minor. The remains of this curving, colossal ashlars dam can be seen some six miles southwest of the town. This dam also serves as a bridge connecting the main highways across the valley At several points arched openings -- like the arch of a bridge but smaller -- allow for the passage and regulation of the water . The original collecting basin, or the artificial lake, behind the dam is now submerged under the much larger modern Turkish irrigation dam. This illustrates well that just like the network of Roman roads, Roman dams, too, served as viable and effective models of engineering for their modern counterparts.
