Did you know..... ? Roman curiosity #1

Today people complain that things do not last long. 

Well, in Rome there is a lock, it was  built in 309 AD and it still works. It is 1709 years old!

It is located in the Church of Saints Cosma and Damiano, the vestibule is what remains of theDivo Romolo's temple  , he died very young and this monument was built by his father Massenzio (Marco Aurelio Valerio Massenzio, Roman emperor).
