The Roman Empire was famous for its system of road-building. But as anyone who's bumped over a pothole knows, with roads comes the need for constant repair, rebuilding, and the associated headaches. A new paper suggests that the people of Pompeii had a unique quick-fix for filling in wheel ruts and holes on their stone streets: they filled them with molten iron.

Whenever the issue of climate comes up on this blog (or even just in the comments on unrelated articles), climate change deniers make an appearance.
