How Socks Won the Roman Empire

YouTube description (SEO-focused) Rome didn’t just win wars with discipline. It won them with manufacturing. At Roman forts like Vindolanda, archaeologists found letters from soldiers requesting socks, shoes, and basic supplies, revealing something modern: Rome ran on logistics. Standardized gear, leather workshops, storehouses, supply officers, and repair systems kept legions moving across rain, cold, and distance. This is the overlooked truth of Roman power: an empire is not held together by heroes, but by systems that can produce and replace ordinary equipment at massive scale.

Standardisation - a way to speed up manufacturing and building

In ancient Rome buildings were originally covered by similar sized, but slightly differently shaped stone. This was called opus incertum and required thorough training and experience for having a nice to look at end result.

Standardisation, first in the size of stone (opus reticulatum) later in the size of bricks (opus latericium), added more complexity for creating the materials, but the building process itself became much quicker and of a more even quality. New workers were easier to train and even experienced workers delivered constant quality, regardless of them having a bad day or not.

Data Governance in a Big Data world

Data Governance in a Big Data world - 5 principles

Does anyone have an insight on helpful formatting for image descriptions (I think I’ve got concise detailing down)? I’ve found myself making them (and one of them is getting reblogged like 100 times a day) but obviously I’m not visually impaired so I’m no expert on how this actually exists for them

My current formatting is:

[Image description: brief summary of what the image is (eg screenshot, art)

More detailed description

[description of images within the main image]

More detailed description (end description)]

Most specifically I’m wondering about ending the description - is it better if I just ] like in some of my earlier ones, or is there a widely accepted and obvious abbreviation that isn’t “ID” which I expect folk to read as “identification” (because everyone encounters that)?
