The Roman Empire was a very big place. Achievements in what is now Germany were mostly just to keep warlike tribes under control. In what is now Provence in southern France, aquaducts and other public works were achievements. Where are you supposedly travelling?

Reed is right.

Thanks

The Roman Empire also lasted a long time, so the time in which you are travelling may affect what you see.

If I traveled to Africa will the time affect what I see?

Probably. Nothing is static, everything changes, even in Roman times. Pick a time and place, say Egypt in the time of Cleopatra, early in the days of the Empire. Or Carthage after Rome burned it. Two different places, different times, different circumstances.
