How can you tell they’ve got it: Roman soldiers & builders?

If they’ve got it, you’ll see things like: Describe Roman soldiers as part of a powerful army that marched across an empire; Name something the Romans built that we can still see today such as roads or walls; Explain that Roman buildings and roads lasted because the Romans were skilled builders. Or just try it together: If your family drove along a very straight old road or visited Roman ruins, could your child tell you that the Romans built things so well they've lasted thousands of years?
