Aqueducts Home roads agustusCaesar collosseum soldier slaves               **  Aqueducts: A pipe or channel designed to transport water from a remote source, usually by gravity or it could be a bridge like structure supporting a conduit or canal passing over a river or low ground. **
 * Aqueducts were very important in town life, in the early towns. Many aqueducts consisted of simple channels dug into the ground as well as underground wood. The most imposing method of water supply was the over ground aqueducts supported on arches. The gradient of the mascoy conducts had to be carefully controlled and the engineering and surveying of aqueducts.   **

Water could be brought from many miles away sometimes requiring bridges to carry the channels. At a town the aqueducts would end at a very high point and the water would travel through a series of setting points. Water ran threw conduits that were lined with concrete and large enough to allow work crew to clean out mineral deposits and other obstructions. The aqeuducts were the main source that helped romans get water! They depended on this system so much! Today our people depend on plumbing as the source that helps us as much as the aqeuducts once had! Plumbing is like the aqeuducts because they both supply us with water and a lot of the important things we need! Roman aqueduct
