Klappentext
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 45 questions that ancient historian Garrett Ryan has been asked in the classroom and through his popular YouTube channel Toldinstone . As in the two previous books of this fun and fascinating series, the emphasis is on the surprising details of daily life in the classical world.
Discover the answers to:
• Were there pigeons on the streets of Rome?
• Did the Colosseum cost more than St. Peter's Basilica?
• What did gladiators do after they retired?
• How did the Egyptians forget hieroglyphs?
• Could potatoes have saved the Roman Empire?
