Special thanks to our 2023-2024 Platinum Sponsors!
Much of America's engineering has its foundation in that of the Roman Empire. Romans are widely regarded as antiquity's greatest engineers and their works are still visible in such buildings as the Pantheon in Rome, the Pont du Gard aqueduct in France, the famous Colosseum, and the world's oldest road (the Appian Way). Please join admitted Romano-phile, Dr. Bill Hunt, as we virtually explore the engineering wonders of the Roman Republic and Empire. This talk is both a history lesson and a celebration of Civil Engineering marvels that have withstood the test of time. There are 2,000-year-old lessons awaiting us modern engineers.
