Aquaducts __ Roman Aqueducts __ Home  aqueducts Slaves Colosseum Roads Military Augustus Caesar The Ancient Romans used a giant water system called the Aqueducts. They were basically man-made water [|canals] that were used to carry water throughout Rome. This greatly assisted the Romans because it helped them transport water from rivers miles away. So, big canals traveling through Rome held up with arches are a normal sight. When you lived in  Rome you would go to a public [|bathhouse] to bath unless you were rich and had your own water supply right in your house which was very uncommon. The Romans also built public toilets were you would go to go to the bathroom. You would sit on a stone slab with a hole in it, and once you went the water from an aqueduct would take away the waste. A good thing to know is that every public water house was free! When you lived in ancient  Rome you would collect water with buckets from fountains. They built very beautiful and elegant fountains where you would go to get your water from. In the Roman Empire there were a total of 9 main aqueducts that split into smaller aqueducts once they arrived in a city. If you can tell, the Roman aqueduct system was like early plumbing. There system is still around us today, just a little more advanced and mostly underground.media type="youtube" key="knDnOYwx4Ek" height="344" width="425"
