Ed Ranks the Things the Romans Did For Judea

Oh yeah! Aqueduct time!

Here are the the things the Romans did for Judea, ranked. Note that I am using Monty Python's The Life of Brian as the only research source for this.

10. Roads - What would people do without roads? Just stay in one place, I suppose. Roads are a good add-on (unless your society is sheltering in place under a pandemic, in which case these are not needed).

9. Wine - Very important. We'd really miss that if the Romans left.

8. Irrigation - Pretty closely related to the "sanitation" and "fresh water system" covered elsewhere, but I suppose the specific nuance on this one is the watering of crops. Again, very important for food production in society.  Especially in a place like Judea, which looks pretty dry and sandy.

7. Brought Peace - Peace, instead of war, is typically a good thing, right? 

6. Sanitation - This one is pretty important. Gotta stay clean and flush all that doo-doo away. This helps prevent plagues, etc.

5. Education - Gotta have a smart people, so education is key to society. 

4. The Fresh-Water System / "The Aqueduct" - Important. You don't want to drink stank-ass water that will make you sick. 

3. Medicine - Yep, medicine is good. Combined with the other things, a pretty good thing to keep people alive.

2. Public Order - Law and order, fighting crime, etc. All very essential things.

1. Public Health - This one is fairly general, and a lot of the other things (fresh water, medicine, sanitation, are arguable sub-sets of this one).
