But the romans actually did innovate. Or at least put other's knowledge to massive use.

The scale of planning and engineering put into their infrastructure is just awesome.

It's not just roads. Their sewage systems, water treatment plants, siphons, aqueducts, pipes... IDK if any of you had a deep dive into this, but I watch some YT channels by spanish professors and this people were no joke.

And they seemed to have some research on materials too.
