Each member of the group is expected to post 2 similarities on the Group's homepage discussion board. The Han Dynasty of China from 206 B.C.E. to 220 C.E. and the Imperial Roman Empire from 21 B.C.E. to 476 C.E. were large empires that dominated during their time periods.

Introduction The Romans were great innovators, particularly in terms of technology diffusion – adopting, pragmatically adapting and systematizing the use of concepts they may have either invented themselves or acquired from others. We have previously seen, for example, adoption of the design of triremes for their navy; adapted to leverage their hand-to-had combat prowess by the use of drawbridges; then deployed quickly at substantial scale. Concrete and arches provide a similar narrative. Neither
