The irony is delicious! Ancient Romans built roads that have survived 2,000+ years using basic geometry and materials science, while our modern "advanced" asphalt roads develop potholes after one winter. Nothing says "progress" quite like driving through what feels like the surface of the moon every spring. The perfect demonstration that sometimes a degree in engineering doesn't beat practical knowledge and quality materials. Perhaps we should send our road crews to study ancient Roman concrete instead of whatever "pothole generator 3000" technology we're currently using.
