I once heard the Romans described as antiquity’s greatest engineers and antiquity’s worst scientists
Comment from : @classicMaxReviews

Love how Greek or Roman conquest is a “Supervillan Rampage” - funny how he never mentioned the same about Ashoka’s ancestors conquering in the India episode! brbrSeriously I love the shows, just is symptomatic of the apologetic tone for mentioning the Roman Empire

What's a "proto novel"? I'd like an example of a sort of but not quite novel, please

Picture of the acropolis built by the Greeks? Have I got that wrong?
Comment from : @danielmurphy1982

Really good, informative, intelligent, I love the fact that it is aimed at a fairly educated audience but as such, I think you could trust our attention span to be long enough to listen without you speaking so, so fast I, for one, really do not require it

Thanks!

10:49 Is a phrase that sounds good, but it is false The tools that previous civilizations left us are as good as they are useful They are not as good as how well those civilization fit our modern ideals and morality

You just mentioned Hypatia in passing, not woke enough?

Romans never questioned the nature of matter or right angles in engineering? Wot m8?

They also murdered more people than any other nation

pretty apt expect that the legions built many of the roads, aqueducts, and fortifications as make work to keep them too busy to think about rebellion
Comment from : @badruter2917

I resent your characterization of conquest as a "super villain rampage" - it makes you sound effeminate and weak

i’m trying to research for a debate “was the scientific revolution really a revolution?” and all of the videos are basically helping the affirmative side i’m on the opposing side 😭

Comment from : @TheJackGoode

Any mention of the Etruscan?
Comment from : @aisaketakau7824

"Inherited" knowledge from the Greeks eeeeeh more like straight up appropriated everything The Roman brainwashing of Greece is so complete we still think the Byzantine Empire as Greek and still agree to be referred to as 'Romans' in ye olde poetry Yeah, no
Comment from : @ElvenAngel

They invented concrete over 2000 years ago but not toilet paper? Arches and domes but not a flush toilet?
Comment from : @mikesears5000

Sorry, Plato e Aristotle where not pre socratic, they where discipules of Socrates, Plato, and of Plato, Aristotle
Comment from : @antoniomiguelsimao

A recent lightening bolt, Mesopotamia had Pythagoras Theorem a millennia before the Greeks did Rome had engineers equal to the Greeks
Comment from : @bkohatl

The Greeks were the scientists and the Romans were the Engineers

The beginning discussion of this episode reminds me of the whole question of anaesthetics Like, we've gotten pretty good at using them effectively and safely, but we still have no f'ing clue how they actually work
Comment from : @dianagibbs3550

If the Romans had possessed a competent numbering system, Western engineering (and possibly science) could possibly have advanced centuries ahead of where we are now But, as it was, trying to do anything advanced depended, for example, on the ability to do such things as easily multiplying a number by CCCLV/CXIII (which happens to be a useful approximation of Pi) Which is why Roman engineering tends to be characterized as large and linear - while they had arches and domes, they were more a case of engineering by template rather than math and were typically sub-optimal in shape, achieving strength and longevity mainly by being massively overbuilt Analysis of whether an elliptical, caternary or parabolic arch would be optimal for a given project had to wait - for about fifteen centuries and a better numbering system

I say when you do things with it I did well in my courses but feel like I have no practical knowledge or skills

"Oh some women" some privileged white girl who had no responsibilities Had nothing to do but stare off into the heavens Was she married? How did she provide for herself? Seriously, ancient times here

Ok Military Industrial Complex goes back to Romans, and not invented in 1950s to fight the Cold War
Comment from : @SeaScoutDan

1:22 ok so we will just ignore the fact that North India just doesn't exist?
Comment from : @alexandrub8786

Neither Aristotle or Plato were pre Socratic Think about it
Comment from : @johnschmidt4616

Roman Engineering built on Greek Engineering produced the Appian Way crisscrossing Asia, Africa and Europe and is still existing today This is just one of the many structures that represented Roman's success in using practical knowledge and skills that grows out of the workers/masses themselves Even if some of the Romans worked on the theoretical side of knowledge, the Roman contribution to the History of Science is grand on the practical (techne) side Proof: Even if the Roman structures were left to neglect for a millennium, still the structure works

Did cloaca mean sewer first or did it start out as the birds everything hole? It would make sense either way

Comment from : @zacharyhenderson2902

It's a shame 'concrete' was never a specific tech in the civilization games Special effect: aqueduct, courthouse, colosseum, city walls, temple, library require 50 less resources to build

BC not BCE! Please get it right
Comment from : @beefjerkythesecond

Theoretical knowledge is not necessarily true and its validity might not be established for centuries eg Newtonian Gravity However, the 'Truth' of engineering is usually rather quickly established eg the ship will sink, an insulae will collapse or emain standing etc So time will tell us if theoretical or practical knowledge is more important Also a false theory might have truely horrific effects eg racial supremacy
