In the 7th grade a lot of us learned about Ancient Rome and Its giant monuments and its greatest rulers. But after a while, they started to fall. Because the modern U.S. and Ancient Rome have many similarities and differences, the lessons from Ancient Rome could help modern U.S. avoid the fall and collapse that Rome experienced.
