In contrast to Frontinus’s negative view, the Pyramids were tourist attractions even at the time, and considered by most Romans to be legitimately very impressive works of architecture showing the cleverness of Egyptian builders, rather than derided. Frontinus was just a filthy ancient equivalent of a STEM major XD
Good to know Frontinus also thought humans built the pyramids, not aliens!

They liked the pyramids so much they stole the gold off the tops.
