with their practitioners. For example, the first
specialist architects and doctors in the Roman
world were very often Greek. The Roman respect
for ancient Greek scholars continued right up to
the end of the empire, and so Roman scientists,
even if their own innovations were largely more
concerned with refinements than new ideas
outright, managed to document and record a long,
ancient tradition of scientific thought, so
preserving it for posterity. The old approach of
historians that the Romans had no significant
science of their own has now been reassessed to
reflect their practical contributions to the evolution
of fields like architecture, engineering, and
medicine, which were underpinned by progress in
such sciences as geometry, physics, and biology.
