I think if the Roman empire hadn't existed our life would be very different now. The Roman empire created a language that everyone understood so if we didn't have the Roman empire, we would never had a language or it would've taken a long time for us to get one. The Roman empire also gave us a lot of technology so without that, we wouldn't be as advanced as we are today.

if rome never existed, the world would be much more diverse. every country would have at least 10 spoken languages because rome wasn't there to force us all to speak the same one. we also wouldn't be as advanced. we would eventually become this advanced, but not until a long time from now. that's because the ideas they came up with probably wouldn't reach us as quickly.

I think that if the Roman Empire never existed, much of our culture would contrast dramatically. Our food and religion would be different along with our weapons, military, and government. I don't think that we would be as advanced mainly because the Roman Empire was superior and vital to the survival of many other civilizations.
