Welcome to this weeks explore along part of Roman Road number 43 (Yes they had Numbers). This is the Winchester to Marlborough Roman Road and we have indeed been here before. So what's new?????

The Roman Road. That had a Significant Kink

Thanks for the post.

I am not entirely shocked, but never in my life would I suspect a YouTube channel (with patrons no less) would exist that has two people discussing ancient Roman roads in the U.K. Of course, they’re English, so that explains a lot.

That’s way out of line.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

California 1) mandates rubberized asphalt and recycled asphalt which fails very quickly and 2) it spends gazillions of dollars on illegals. You can draw a direct inverse line between spending on illegals and the horrendous degradation of our infrastructure.

I saw that...couldn’t quite share in the swooning.

That’s some Gaul right there.

You need to go before a tribunal.
nyuck, nyuck, nyuck..

Spoiler — nobody knows why.

They are a cute couple and it’s really cool they have a shared interest in history and archaeology and enjoy getting out exploring like this.

Nay, I appeal to Ceasar!

You really got me with that Kinks line.

for those that ‘dig’ Roman roads, I recommend:

I appeal to Ceasar!

Well there's someone for everyone, even the salad dressing dude.

Today is the Ides of March, when Caesar was famously assassinated. But what most people don't know is that he wasn't stabbed, but poisoned, by Hemlock leaves in his salad - hence the name "Caesar's Salad." When Brutus asked how many Hemlock leaves Caesar ingested, Caesar said:

Ate two, Brute.

...my apologies.

Rod Stewart fills potholes outside his Essex estate - YouTube

“The other day, there was an ambulance with a burst tire. My Ferrari can’t go through here at all.” He added, dancing around in a safety vest, “Me and the boys thought we’d come out here and do it ourselves.” The Italian suspension is grateful.

Cheeky Brits.

“All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

[SunkenCiv]

I always suspected the Romans tended to be kinky...

[SunkenCiv]

I think YouTube sends the pavements direct to their bank account.

;^)

The Romans were phenomenal cats, and did a nice job keeping order, thanks to their soldiers, who were on duty all day, and all of the night.

:^) The second vid (the 2-3 minute one that describes the construction) showed up in my related vids, no doubt because of my past viewing, and luckily, the kinky road one showed up after I watched it.

Yup, the Romans inspired Walt Disney's Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
