Their social structure was similar since there was an emphasis on slavery. In this era, Athenians and Romans segregated the population based on social statuses. …show more content…
For example in the 4th century, BC, Archimedes of Syracuse began using mathematical analysis in practical and definite mechanical problems (Cook and Ronald 76). For example the Byzantine siphon was made to discharge fire from warships. The romans learnt much of their civil engineering from other people such as the Etruscans and the Greeks. For example they used the Nabataean engineers to developed irrigation systems.
New viewpoints on sexuality dominated the early centuries of the medieval worldview. For example, church leaders, such as Augustine, discussed sexuality and its relation to gender roles (Cook and Ronald 81).
