Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The letters you used to write your question are from the Romans!.
The Arch, as an architectural feature rather than an advertising one, is credited to the Romans!.
Many of the languages in Western Europe are heavily influenced by Latin!. The Romance languages, French, Spanish, Italian, are so called not because of any amorous inclinations but because of their connection to "roman" !. The Germanic languages, such as English are influenced by the Latin as well!.

The pattern of laying out most cities in a grid is something the Romans gave us!. The word Civilization comes from civitas, which is a Latin word meaning city!.

As to Pompeii and Herculaneum, the ash apparently hardened around the bodies, which were killed in mid motion, as you probably know!. I think they may have just filled the cavities left behind with plaster after the bodies decayed, but that's a guess on my part!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
