Na Ròmanaich/The Romans

Revisit the great Roman Empire as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives. The Romans were skilled engineers who used waterwheels, channels and giant aqueducts for waterpower and to feed magnificent communal baths. In this episode, the History Hunters take on the challenge of lifting a rubber duck off the ground using Roman-inspired waterwheel technology to power their experiment.

They also use a homemade groma to try and replicate the Roman practice of going to great lengths to build straight roads without modern machinery. Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne figure out how to tie a toga from a sheet, create a Roman arch from cheese and peanut butter, and make a wax tablet and stylus like the ones used by Roman schoolboys.

Then there are their kids: 18-year-old Meg is an outcast at school and the Griffin family punching bag; 13-year-old Chris is a socially awkward teen who doesn't have a clue about the opposite sex; and one-year-old Stewie is a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian the family dog and a ladies' man who is one step away from AA.
