The Roman aqueducts stand today, more than two thousand years later, as a testament to the engineering genius of the ancient Romans. These massive structures not only boggle the human mind as to how they were constructed, but their function and reliability are still a modern marvel.
In fact, some aqueducts remain operational to this day. Walking through the modern city of Rome, one will come across these monumental arched structures that often cross streets and avenues. The Roman aqueducts not only provided drinking water for the Romans but indoor sewer systems that carried water away from the city and also supplied the bath houses with ample water, where the inhabitants of ancient Rome spent so much of their leisure time.
The bulk of the Roman water system ran below the city, burrowed through 260 miles of rock, and about 30 miles of above-ground bridges and crossways (the arches). The entire system relied on various gradients and gravity to maintain a continuous flow.
