Where was the first 360-degree rotating dining space?
Seattle’s Space Needle? Nah. Let’s go back to 1st century Rome. Nero’s Golden Palace contained a 52-foot circular dining hall that rested on a 13-foot pillar with four spherical mechanisms. It rotated day and night to imitate the motion of the celestial bodies around the Earth and, of course, to impress his guests. The rotation was likely powered by a constant flow of water from an aqueduct to those mechanisms, with gears facilitating the rotation.
