Reconstructing a Roman Water Lifting Machine: Unveiling Ancient Technology in London

The video discusses an archaeological experiment to reconstruct a Roman-era water lifting machine in London. Using evidence from a Roman well, a continuous iron link bucket chain was designed. This machine, capable of lifting large volumes of water, was likely used to supply public baths. The reconstruction took six months of research and six weeks to build, and it will be displayed in London until next year.
