Ancient Rome Appian Way and Great Pyramid Pages
The article recounts Wilson Spinden's National Geographic account of a San Salvador eruption with a perilous ascent to the crater rim and a vivid display of steam and lava. It also surveys Rome's Appian Way as a bustling imperial thoroughfare and military hub. It describes the Great Pyramid of Cheops detailing construction methods, quarrying, transport, and a two thousand year mystery resolved by science. It notes prehistoric American fauna and a medicinal ad for Hall's Catarrh Medicine.
