The Pont du Gard

  • Jan 9, 2018

Julius Caesar takes on Vercingetorix and the Gauls as we travel to Provence in Southern France. The Pont du Gard is a Roman aqueduct, the largest left standing, and it's just one of the many legacies the Romans left in the land of lavender and sunshine.

While here, we visit Avignon and spend a detour talking about the papacy and the Slap of Agnani - one of those surprising little histories we've all forgotten that had a tremendous impact on the world.

To eat, how about some ratatouille? Except that it's January and good tomatoes are hard to find. So let's try soupe au pistou instead!

Bienvenue!

The Pont du Gard is remarkable not only for its scale but for the precision required to move water across a long distance with such a gentle gradient. That combination of engineering and landscape is what makes the site stay in memory long after the dates and measurements fade. Ancient structures can also inspire wonderfully strange stories; How to date a Sleep Paralysis Demon is far removed from Roman aqueducts, but both show how curiosity can open an unexpected route into a subject. I enjoyed this thoughtful visit.

A website like Cool Games is almost paradoxical: it's a free world full of challenges that need persistence, focus, and composure.
