Day 8 (even though he's back)

1. Greco-Roman culture: a mix of Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman culture 

Pompeii: a Roman town that was covered by Mount Vesuvius, killing about 2,000 residents

Virgil: a poet who wrote the Aeneid, he speaks of government being Rome's most important contribution to civilization.

Tacitus: a Roman historian who presented accurate facts, who also wrote about Rome's morality 

aqueducts: designed by Roman engineers to bring water into towns and cities 

5. The Latin language influenced the development of Western languages because it was adopted by people and modified to make French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian languages. Latin also influenced the English language, as more than over half of the words have a basis in Latin.
