      99.99% of Roman structures are gone. We're seeing the few that escaped destruction. The flak towers in Berlin will probably still be around in 2000 years too if we don't knock them down ourselves.

      The survivorship bias is absolutely true. The buildings that survive are by far the exception. The Roman equivalent of apartment buildings and things of that nature did not last. The things that did, are the sort of grand monuments, funded by the wealth of emperors and built by slaves over many years. That is why those ones are the ones that are still around. If we in the present wanted to dedicate the time, resources, and effort to build things that would last thousands of years, we totally could. However, the cost of doing that is generally not considered worth it in the current day.

      I'm from the Philippines, and as a citizen of a country that was colonized by the Spanish Empire for 333 years, I always get fascinated and look unto their influence and it roots back to the Romans, their architecture, traditions, and language, could be seen also in our country and it feels crazy. Most of our old buildings and some words in our language are of Latin influence while being in the far east Asia.

      @@rensd12 Not all of them but a lot for sure. But few things to think of before saying "boo roman bad". The Roman Empire stayed for a long time because it had a good and working system. Far better than the provinces they "conquered" and vastly improved life quality all over the place. Talking about conquest, they often took the head of the provinces with little to no force at all. In fact some of them were still governed by the same people. And finally, for the vast majority of the provinces they took were in the past colonised or invaded by other populations. Roman were not the first and not the last. And people tend to only put colonisation next to white/western civilisations, but they represent very little to all conquests/invasions the world have seen.

As they took over other civilizations they took their knowledge and created a large library with the knowledge of the concord world. They also took the best building technology like the arch and rebuild the concord world. You are not only my favorite European historian but the most handsome and sexy one also!

In physics, pretty much all of architecture is using some kind of physics. Warfare had to make use of the technologies of the time of course, think metal weapons and armor.

    in Greece we have these old appartement buildings surrounding everything, be it ancient greek and roman or even neoclassical. Only in a few places we have laws for building in a specific design. Everyone in the 60s and 70s started building these monstrosities so they can make money renting. You can clearly see it at 11:20 . It is a shame because we have almost everything. We have lots of mountains but also a lot of beaches and islands, ancient greek and roman ruins, medieval castles and monasteries and some good neoclassical areas . Then you go to a city, small town and sometimes even a village and you see the appartement vomit.

    Thankyou so much for your video, looks like we're off to Nimes for a look round..... there is also a beautifully preserved Aqueduct just outside Tarragona in Spain and infact Tarragona itself has many Roman features including a chariot race track, walls and an Amphitheatre all very well preserved.

    2 more to add to the list: porta nigra as well as the Konstantinbasilika (Augusta Trevevorum, one of the best preserved roman closed aula buildings, looking at it you wouldn't think it older than a 100 years) in Trier and St. Gereon's church in Cologne (though it has been extended and altered over the millenia, but the prechristian spheral dome is still at its centre)

    Would you do a special on the Roman structures left in present day Turkey?
    There's a great looking Greek Roman Theatre in Cappadocia, Anatolia.
