Welcome to this weeks video, a quick look at 4 Roman Technologies that I never knew existed. Forgove the title... maybe you did.. maybe you didn't. Either way. Lets sum those up in a quick video explaining all.

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Corrections. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
Errors
1. We don't know for sure, but many claim the antikythera mechanism was likely Greece. I have this nicked it for this video as it was in the Roman Era.
2. Slaked Lime. Not Slacked.
