Recently I read the book `The Confessions` by Jean-Jacques Rousseau . The author said the most impressive thing in his life was The Pont du Gard, Roman aqueduct bridge built in the first century AD to carry water over 50 km . An iconic Ancient Roman bridge inspired Rousseau and his philosophy inspired many generations. I am looking at the pic of this bridge and feel inspired too!

In China, I don't think men think or talk about Roman empires a lot, at least, my husband doesn't , but when the topic goes to Roman empires, he may talk about how ambitious and brave they were such as Caesas Great. One reason is our education about world history that we were not exposed into so much. Another reason should be we have no so much interest in empires and we are a little bit tired about hearing empires stories since empires came and went in our entire history.
