I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the Romans copied all of their construction
skills from the Etruscans' and basically applied the same law system the Greeks
already had had before.

However, they gave a shining example of political and military organization of
a superpower and later on a warning example of how decadence of a superpower
can spread chaos all over the (known) world... :-)
