The Romans perfected the art of brick-making in the first century BC by adding concrete made from volcanic ash. This stronger, more durable brick launched a series of innovations that lead to a boom in construction. It also paved the way for more structurally complicated architecture such as the Pantheon Dome and The Colosseum. Our puzzle is constructed of six sturdy wooden bricks that stack your ingenuity against the Romans’ true genius.
