Roman influence on indigenous cultures

Roman influence on indigenous cultures often involved the spread of Roman law, language, architecture, engineering, and governance. When the Romans expanded their empire, they integrated local peoples, introducing Latin, Roman legal systems, roads, aqueducts, and urban planning. This integration fostered cultural exchange, sometimes blending local traditions with Roman elements, leading to lasting impacts on language, infrastructure, and administrative practices. While Roman influence varied across regions, it contributed to shaping the social, political, and cultural development of many societies within and beyond the empire.
