How Did Ancient Romans Survive the Freezing Winters?

Forget sun, sandals, and olive groves — a huge part of the Roman Empire froze every single winter. In this video we uncover how Romans actually survived the cold: underfloor heating only the rich could afford, soldiers wrapped in wool on Hadrian's Wall, and a 2,000-year-old letter from Vindolanda about someone sending socks to a freezing soldier. This is the winter of Rome nobody talks about. #ancientrome #romanempire #history #hadrianswall #vindolanda
