How Ancient Romans Made Perfectly Straight & Durable Roads, Concrete Better Than Ours, & Much More
In the video today we're looking at how the Ancient Romans made
incredibly long, perfectly straight and incredibly durable roads, what
it was like being a slave in ancient rome, how they made concrete better
than ours, were they really as wild as we sometimes think today or more
prudes, did gladiators really live or die based on thumbs up or thumbs
down by the audience, that time a farmer was given ultimate power twice
and changed the world by walking away both times after he'd done what
Rome asked of him, what really happened on the ides of march, and the
chickens that shaped world history.
