Dude's Legacy

Dude's Legacy are everywhere! From the start of time, people always want to be remembered long even after death. One of the greatest way leave a Legacy is by building the biggest building ever. Trajan was the Roman Emperor from 98 to 117 AD. The Trajan's Forum was build in the year 112 AD. The Trajan's Forum interested me the most during the Roman Seminar. The Trajan's Forum is a simple yet complex building. The building tells the story of all the battles that the Great Trajan's has won under the rule of Trajan. The complex thing about the structure is that creating a gigantic forum about the height of a two story building without modern technology is impossible. When Emperors die they want to leave a big Legacy for everyone to remember them by. In Rome there are tons of " Dude's Legacy" everywhere. Each time Rome gets taken over the Emperor leaves his Legacy behind for people to remember him by. I believe that "Dude's Legacy" are influenced by the Roman Emperor's. Today we have the Mt. Rushmore as a "Dude's Legacy" influence  because it was created to remind who the Great Founding Father of America is. We carve their faces in big stones so that everyone can see it and remember the Great Founding Father. I really like the Trajan's Forum because the building that they left a few thousands of years ago is still in good condition today. Many of the building in Rome left by "Dude's Legacy" is either broken or has been broken and "fixed". The Trajan's left the building because they wanted show how great and wealthy the Emperor is. To make a building that all require a lot of resources and wealth. To the Emperor it meant nothing but just pure "Dude's Legacy". For a building to be untouched for a few thousands of years really showed how powerful and fearful the Emperor is. I would really like to see the Trajan's Forum in Rome. I want to see all the Legacys left by the Romans.
