Ancient societies may not have had smart phones or 'Top Gear', but they were still obsessed by technology and gadgets. Technology played a critical role in ancient civilisation, whether in mundane or (occasionally) spectacular ways. This course looks at a selection of ancient technologies - from pyramids to vending machines and computers - that reveal a lot more about ancient society and life. (Not to be taken with Eb4 in Ancient and Classical Worlds.)
