The Roads of Ancient Rome

An infographic illustrating the typical structure of Roman roads. It is believed that the Romans adopted the craft of road construction from the Etruscans, and as the empire grew, they incorporated ideas and techniques from other cultures. At its height, the Roman transportation network spanned 85,000 km (53,000 miles) of paved roads extending from Mesopotamia to Britain and from the Danube to Spain and North Africa. The engineers of the Roman army followed a uniform set of fundamental principles while adapting to local materials and conditions.

We visited the Basilica Cistern today, it’s such an amazing feat of engineering for its time! Built underground in the 6th century it could hold 100,000 tons of water 💦. . . #basilicacistern #cistern #istanbul #romans #romanengineering #history #turkey #travel #travelgram #instatravel #familytravel #unschooling #worldschooling #homefreefamily (at Basilica Cistern)

"The Tower of Babel" was the subject of three paintings by #PieterBruegelTheElder. The first, a miniature painted on #ivory, was painted while Bruegel was in #Rome and is now lost. The two surviving #paintings, often distinguished by the prefix "Great" and "Little", are in the #KunsthistorischesMuseum (pictured here), Vienna and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in #Rotterdam respectively. Both are #oilpainting on #wood panels.
