One of my favorite tidbits about Ancient Rome is that they maintained a little mud hut in the middle of the Eternal City exactly as it (supposedly) was from the earliest days of Rome. Romulus’s personal residence. Maintained as a squalid little thing as a reminder of just how far human technique had progressed since the days that a little mud hut was the residence of a Roman king.
