 Or that's what everyone always says at least. But how long did it take? A long weekend? A couple of weeks? Maybe summer vacation? A couple years? I'm just curious. Like, is it even possible to know? Should I ask a Roman maybe?

 Sources disagree on that topic. I've heard Some has had new construction as recently as last year, so maybe it isn't even finished being built?

When a handful of future senators were tweens it was their summer camp project. Other kids snuck out to drink wine and throw rocks at slaves but these were future leaders we're talking about.

to make it have been built in a day caesar had to do some fuckery with the calendar which is why to this day e.g. october ('eighth month') is actually the 10th month etc.

Rome was built built by wolves and I'm pretty sure it takes them a while to draft blueprints, but once that's done the actual erection happens quickly.

We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
The real reason Julius Caesar got stabbed was because he was about to reveal just how long it actually took to build Rome.
