(August 2010). A computing platform is, in the most general sense, whatever pre-existing environment a piece of computer software or code object is designed to run within, obeying its constraints, and making use of its facilities. An application, such as a spreadsheet or word processor, which hosts software written in an application-specific scripting language, such as an Excel macro. 2  This can be extended to writing fully-fledged applications with the Microsoft Office suite as a platform.
So far it's taken approximately 1,009,491 days to build Rome. This is based on the traditional founding of the city (21 April 753 BCE), but we should also consider that the city has been sacked and rebuilt several times. Views Â· View Upvotes.
Unfortunately, records do not tell us how long it took to build Roman roads or how large the road gangs were that built them. The Appian WayââQueen of Roadsâ and forerunner of many other Roman roads on three continentsâwas begun in 312 B.C. as a road for use in the Samnite Wars. The 211 km. (132 mi.) to Capua must have been completed within about a decade. Ultimately, the Appian Way reached southward 576 km. (360 mi.) from Rome to Brundisium on the Adriatic Sea. The road system was gradually extended through the efforts of numerous Roman emperors. Agustus, Tiberius, Claudius, and Vespasian were among those who launched great road-building projects.
