SukritiRoman Roads You Can Still Walk On!
Every civilization built roads during their time but how many of those roads you can still walk on? Romans made roads with so much perfection that you can still walk on 2000 years old roads. They built these roads not only with the help of sand and rock rather they used a mixture of gravel, rocks, and bricks made of granite or volcanic lava…
The Statue Of Liberty
This can be another big surprise for you. Statue of Liberty is not derived from American culture. It is inspired by a Roman’s Pagan Goddess Libertas. She was a symbol of freedom of action, freedom from restraint, independence, and rights.
Better Than Today’s Storage Technology
If Romans put so much effort into making roads then just think how much effort would they put forth when it came to storing. Here’s an example: In 2012, divers found an ancient Roman shipwreck in which everything seemed destroyed until they looked inside the storage jars, that were in perfect condition!
Filling The Colosseum With Water
It was in 86 AD that Colosseum was turned into a swimming pool. The purpose behind it was to stage a naval battle in the Colosseum. We can only imagine what this scene would have been like. Seems like the ancient Romans were up for all sort of risks to have fun.
No Honeymoon
On the wedding day, the bride and the groom eagerly wait to see each other. However, Romans did everything in a slightly different manner. In this case, the husband wasn’t supposed to see his wife naked on the wedding day. The wife has to keep on mind that she will go all covered in front of her husband until the next day.
Death Penalty
The penalty for those who murder their father was death. The punishment was quite different from what you could have guessed before looking at the image. Yes, the culprit was sewn in a sack with four creatures, viper, wild monkey, rooster, and dog.
