For those who didn't watch it, it was the development of a concrete that could be mass produced and used anywhere that Britain invented, the Romans had a type of concrete, but it didn't have the same properties and could only be produced in close proximity to a volcano.

Where do you stand on the Pompeii/Herculaneum debate? Concrete aqueducts, aquifers, reinforced water storage Chambers, sunken baths, you name it. They had them all, until... The big mountain thingy blew up. Who knew?
I am, generally speaking, indifferent to the above mentioned feats of Italian aqua based engineering. Saying that I do love a nice hot bath with a goblet of vino in one hand, a chicken leg in the other whilst donning a laurel reef on my swede. Those Roman motherfuckers knew the score.
Of all the things Carmine's claimed to do in the bath, this new revelation about eating chicken legs is the worst. The dirty, dirty bastard.
Aye agreed. Sitting there, wallowing in his own filth, candles lit round the edge, Enya playing in the background and munching on a soggy old bird. It's disgusting.
