How did the Romans influence our society?

In allmost every way, they had back then plastic surgery, plumming ( when the western part fell an when the barbarians took over Rome they destroyed the pluming and until the 16 century or even later they didn't have pluming they were throwing everything on the streets), the way they build towns is the way we build them today, because they had colonies around the Mediterranean they thought the barbarians there culture, absolutely everything they did effected today's life they wrote history and they wrote everything that happened back then down they were amazing warriors, writers and poets and smart people
