roads which facilitated the Roman conquest of much of the world. Each of these inventions evolved at distinct times and served distinct uses. Each is still used in

case in Rome. Consider, for example, catapults. Catapults were a technical mechanism used in medieval times as weapons of war. Interestingly, catapults are still used today in
much more modern applications than they were originally designed for. Catapults of yesteryear consisted of a rather simplistic mechanical design yet, despite that fact, they operated in a precise and
