The Romans made many inventions used today, although they would usually improve on older ideas instead of make their own. The Romans invented paved roads, man made aqueducts, and the dome, used in many buildings today. Things they improved off of are concrete, baths, and plumbing systems.

Early day air-conditioning was established in Pompeii and was then know as evaporative cooling. People would often have a fountain in the courtyard and door from the house opening up into the courtyard. What people would do was on hot nights they would leave the doors onto the courtyard open and when wind came through it would be cooled down by the cold water of the fountain. How clever is that!

The Romans also invented the hypocaust, which was a system of central heating using steam passing under the floor.
