Centurion Adam Hartvs Davus presents:

Arpanettvm, the origin of the internet. Due to the lack of electricity at the time, it used blocks of stacked bricks to simulate either on or off. The static nature of blocks of bricks meant that they didn't go anywhere, therefore rendering the entire system completely useless.
Hartvs Davus' severed head was displayed aloft said bricks shortly after.

I think your explanation of it being the origin of the internet
does the job nicely.

Edit it and choose 'Challenge Entry: Roman Internet' instead of 'Normal Post' in the drop-down box.

You know you want to.
