Steampunk Rome I: An Ancient Industrial Revolution (Almost) – Roman History

Dead Ideas: The History of Extinct Thoughts and Practices - Podcast készítő B. T. Newberg and history nerd friends

For our final series, we're doing the steam technology of the ancient world that died and had to be resurrected in 18th-century Europe. How close was Rome to being able to construct a working steam locomotive? That may sound silly, but you won't think so after this episode!
