Problem: Which new Greek, Hellenistic, or Roman technology from the Week 3, Unit 1 course materials do you find most interesting or most important, and why? What is the historical context of this technology's invention, according to the course materials-when and where was it invented, if that's known (be sure to cite exactly where you got this information in the course materials-what page of what reading, what moment of what video, etc*.)? Search online to find a surviving example of it from the period covered during Week 1 (or a reconstruction of it if surviving examples don't exist). Include the image of the ancient technology in your post, along with a link to the website where you found the image. Look around you for a modern technology or device we use to perform the same function or accomplish the same task as the ancient technology or device you found the image of.
