Ep452: Was and still is

For example, there's the Flavian Amphitheatre.

F- is it on fire?

It's better known as the Colosseum.

Oh, okay.

Uh, the one in Rome.

Mm.

It's funny you should mention the fire, because, uh, [laughs]

[laughs]

An area of Rome had been on fire during the Great Fire of Rome.

Oh.

Well, that's a good name for it.

And so, uh, what's-his-name, Emperor Nero-

Mm-hmm

... took that land-

Ah, yes

... extended an aqueduct and built himself a, uh, artificial lake.

[laughs]

[laughs] I'll just live here the next time-

Yeah

... it's on fire.

But eventually, uh, another emperor...

Let's see.

I have his name somewhere.

Ha-thaven? Is it, uh...

An emperor.
