Thanks to those horrible or maybe noble (depending on your wealth and class) Emperor's during Roman times we have the quintessential invention that is sunglasses. Not tolerating the suns beams jading his view of the games or gladiators getting eaten by tigers he got his best men to the drawing boards. It was most notably the brutal Emperor Nero demanded the invention of some sort of sun blocker.
Well guess what, the suns been getting hotter and hotter in recent centuries so those clever people in China created the first pair of purpose built sunglasses and thanks to modern day fashion and Hollywood, these tinted pieces of imperfection-heavy quartz lenses don't look to bad either!
