5/8

1. Greco-Roman Culture- the mix of Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman culture- classical civilization Adapted making a whole new style of art, philosophy, and writing.
     Pompeii- Roman town- nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted covering Pompeii in a thick layer of ash and killing about 2,000 residents. The ash acted to preserve many buildings and works of art
    Virgil- a poet- spent ten years writing the most famous work of Latin literature, the Aeneid
     Tacitus- Roman historian- presented facts accurately- concerned about the Romans' lack of morality- in his Annals and Histories, he wrote about the good and bad of imperial Rome
     aqueducts- designed by Roman engineers to bring water into cities and towns- when water channel spanned a river or ravine the aqueduct was lifted high up on arches
 
5. The Latin language influenced more than half the world's languages' , languages were created based off of the Latin language and many languages have a basis of Latin.
