Aqueducts The aqueducts were very important to the Roman society. They were artificial channels used to carry fresh water to many cities. To construct this you had to have large ditches. They were based on gravity. The stone wall was built against each side. The base of the outer wall went down 30 feet. Crenellations were then built. The soldiers benefited because of the protection behind the high sections. The route was chosen for aqueduct required a short tunnel. Every 20 yards, the vertical shafts were sunk. They had very large piers. Between the piers were arches. I think aqueducts have influenced other countries to use such efficient water systems. The transport of water is a major deal. Irrigation is very important, and the Romans had the best idea. Circus Maximus Artisan Ceaser Aqueducts Roads Soldier
