Strange to think: Rome remembered its emperors, but not the workers who built the roads beneath their feet.

Okay I have to say it… the images with your stories seem to be getting worse and worse. Generic images that have nothing to do with the story. And all of the characters look identical. Like it’s getting lazy or something. As someone who watches your channel daily I find myself going back to the older sepia toned images because I kinda hate the new ones. I can’t even enjoy the story by being distracted by the images. Like this video, the images are supposed to represent road building in ANCIENT Rome??? Sorry for the rant. I’m done. 😊
