Answer:

The legacy of Ancient Rome is still felt today in western culture in areas such as government, law, language, architecture, engineering, and religion. Many modern-day governments are modeled after the Roman Republic. The U.S. even named one house of Congress, the Senate, after the Senate of Rome.
