About this listen
Rome once attempted to synchronize time across an empire.Not with clocks—but with sundials, calendars, and administrative assumptions that worked well enough for a city, and poorly for a continent.This interstitial examines how Roman timekeeping didn’t collapse, but quietly drifted—how precision was gradually deprioritized, coordination softened, and synchronization became something the empire learned to live without.
