__**Roman Inventions**__ Popular inventions Romans invented many useful inventions that you may not of even thought came from the Romans. For example candles. They also invented bathtubs which was a popular invention when you think of hygene. They also created a tool that is very crafty... cross-bladed scissors. They also made a very handy wepeon called a gladius or a sword. They also invented sock to cover their feet. I would have never thought that Romans invented all of these things. __**What is it** **Made of**__ Every object has to be made some how either by man or mother nature here is what some Roman invetions got made of. Candles were made of animal fat and in desperate times they ate the candles. Bathtubs couldn't hsve been too cozy because they were made of //concrete!// Their socks weren't made of cotton like ours instead they were made leather of cows, goats, or deers. They used their resourse to make things even though they didn't have cotton sock their feet were still protected.Their gladiuses or swords were made of simple iron. The Romans were sucessful with their advancement with tools. by: Rama [] The inventions that the Romans invented helped shape our society today. Candles help us when electricity fails and when we want a fragrance in our live. Roman candles are also now used as fireworks!!! Scissrors are used for cutting to make shapes or to adjust formations. Swords aren't used that mmuch any more but they can be used for fighting. Socks are use for protection for the feet form the ground and the cold.Bathtubs are now used for younger kids who aren't ready for showers because now we have showers.

The Romans apparently knew a lot about inventing, but how? They Knew a lot about inventing because of the mixure of people in Rome. The mixture of people mean the mixure of culture and knowlege. The Etruscans also helped them out. Many inventions were made by Etuscans. That is how they knew so much about inventing.
 * __How did they know?__**

The Romans as odd as it may seem also invented games. They invented bowling. they played bowling with glass instead of pins though. They also invented //hopscotch!// They invented hopscotch as a training drill for the soldiers they had to go through the training with all of thier amor on to help with foot work, strength, stamina, and agility. One huge difference b etween the fun childish game today and the tretorous opsticle course ment for soliers is the length. The Roman hopscotch was extrremely long and exuagting since it didn't just go to number 9. look at these cool links: This place is about Roaman numerals and has some interesting facts along the way by: WikiCantona
