The Romans always went BIG. Their engineering and architectural influence can still be seen in many places throughout Europe and Northern Africa. This video from toldinstone on YouTube takes a look at some of the lesser known projects Romans constructed during their heydey. I especially enjoyed the story about the secret harbor at Lake Avernus.

The longest tunnel in ancient history. A highway suspended over a raging river. A secret harbor for the Roman navy. These are three of the most impressive Roman engineering projects that you’ve probably never heard of.
