Answer 4

Well during the day's of the Republic I would say the aqueduct was a major achievement. They moved water hundreds of miles around there cities.

During the Empire the coliseum was also a huge achievement.

  Had a sun roof, they could flood the stage for naval battles, animals brought in from every corner of the empire and sometimes beyond there empire.

Also Hadrian's wall (I think that was in Britannia) was also an impressive feat.

But there greatest achievement has to be there road's. They used a kind of concrete and a good many of there roads still exist or formed the basis of many roads in Europe today.
