About this audiobook
How did Roman engineering shape the world we know today? This book delves into the enduring legacy of Roman engineering, from roads that traverse the empire to aqueducts that irrigate our cities. The Romans' ingenuity laid the foundations for modern civil engineering, introducing techniques and structures that have stood the test of time. The narrative explores how these innovations not only facilitated the expansion of the Roman Empire but also influenced architectural and engineering practices through the ages, including our current urban planning and infrastructure development. By examining iconic feats such as the construction of the Colosseum and the expansive network of Roman roads, the book highlights the Roman commitment to engineering that combines functionality with grandeur, setting a precedent for future generations.
