“How often do you think about the Roman Empire?”

[@lawrencefitler8154]

All the time.

So much so that if I had a time machine I’d like to bring back a Roman road engineer, have him look at the state of our road infrastructure, and ask him what we need to do for serious improvements. Especially for their actual recipe for self-healing concrete (which I’ve heard we’ve finally cracked the code on but I’ll believe it when I see it, lol).
I’ve thought about this every time I’ve ever had the displeasure to drive or ride on Houston roads or freeways for about the last four decades even though I’m a woman. However, my father was in civil service and worked on road and bridge infrastructure planning and execution so I’m a bit biased, lol.

@@VvpandoravV It was probably volcanic rock that they used for their Roman concrete as their secret ingredient.
