"Steve Burrows leads a team investigating the greatest buildings of Rome. The team uses modern expertise and a series of experiments to decode iconic constructions including the Colosseum and the Pantheon, bringing an uniquely 21st century perspective to the civilisation's masterpieces. Discover how human-powered cranes were used to lift two tonne blocks of stone - the equivalent of 15 storeys high - and how luxurious bathhouses and saunas were heated."-- BBC Knowledge website |
