One of the coolest things - in Pompeii - small chips of reflective/fluorescent stones for nighttime 😏

“One of the coolest things - in Pompeii - small chips of reflective/fluorescent stones for nighttime.”

I find this fascinating. I wonder what it was like driving down a Roman road in a chariot or wagon or whatever in the dark. I wonder if there were lots of highway robbers along the way and how the Romans protected themselves. Did they only travel at night in groups, or did they go it alone. And someone on this thread mentioned beacons. What’s up with that? How did that work?
