Description
How did the Romans build structures that have survived for nearly 2,000 years while many modern buildings struggle to last a century? In this episode of Info On The Go, William and Kat explore the remarkable story of Roman concrete—the revolutionary building material behind the Pantheon, aqueducts, harbors, and temples that still stand today. Discover the surprising chemistry of volcanic ash, the possibility of self-healing concrete, and why seawater may have made some Roman structures stronger over time. Join us as we uncover one of history's greatest engineering mysteries and ask a fascinating question: what did the Romans understand about building for permanence that we've forgotten?
