‘What The Romans Did For Us’ will tie in with a 5 X30 minute BBC2 documentary fronted by Adam Hart-Davis that looks at the Roman influence on our lives today. They were the first mass producers and the first capitalists who, during their 400 year stay built over 30 towns, leaving a fascinating and complex technological legacy that forms the basis of our world today. This book will accompany the series with an in-depth illustrated history of each invention, how they were utilised by the Romans, and how each innovation compares to our own technological advances.
