The Colosseum with Dan Snow (2024, 2 Parts compiled) https://www.bitchute.com/video/Iq8qhuvth1aa "Dan Snow investigates one of the world's most famous ancient buildings. He begins by guiding viewers through Rome's underground, revealing caverns where slaves extracted materials for its 10-year construction. Dan explores what it was originally like to experience a sold-out show at the Colosseum, first as a spectator and then as a gladiator. He finds out how to get a ticket, what you'd see, where you'd eat, even where you'd go to the loo."

A Roman cooker, called an authepsa (αύθέψης) was sold at auction in 2023. It was an elaborate bronze construction ornamented with cast birds. There are lots of photos in the auction advertisement. Despite their other technology, the Romans never invented the chimney! Because of this they cooked with small pieces of charcoal, or used wood treated to give off less smoke, called by the Greek word acapna (ακαπνα). https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/a-roman-multi-part-food-warmer-authepsa-made-of-b-11-c-0ac4e89ad6
