Could a Roman bridge carry a modern freight train? How much would it cost to build the Colosseum today? What if the Romans had grown potatoes?
In a series of fast-paced essays, Leaky Aqueducts, War Pigeons, and Mystery Cults answers 36 questions that ancient historian Garrett Ryan has been asked in the classroom and through his popular YouTube channel ToldinStone. As in the previous books in Ryan's fun and fascinating series, the emphasis is on the curious details of daily life in the classical world.
Discover the answers to:
- Why did Ancient Greece decline?
- What if Alexander the Great invaded Italy?
- Did the Romans build anything that modern engineers cannot replicate?
- What did gladiators do after they retired?
- How was Rome supplied with food?
- Were apartments in Rome expensive?
- How did ancient elections work?
- How did ancient cities get their modern names?
- Have any Roman customs survived to the present?
