Answer:

D.) to honestly depict how Roman cities were built.

Explanation:

David Macaulay creates and relates a very close explanation of how Roman cities were built and makes it clear that the Roman civilization was not as good as we might think, and that it wasn´t a great place to live for the common folks, it is important to note that eventhoug most of the rights we all now have come from the first roman and greek phillosophers those same rights didn´t apply to all people, but just a refined circle of priviledged men, and that they built their empire on the back of slaves and misstreated workers.
