There have been many offshore investigations from Caesaria Maritima in Israel, that are perhaps the best analysis of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago. I once was standing by a Roman road that had the cobblestones preserved, a tourist who was walking on it complained “Who the hell built this road. It really sucks!” I told him “The Romans did (Tenth Legion) 2000 years ago. You know, nothing lasts anymore, does it?” The other members of his tour group laughed.
