 Knowing the city will make it much easier adjusting to life in this bustling city!  Getting around Rome is very important. It can also be very confusing. But by using this information, you’ll be able to get anywhere in this city!    Rome has lots of roads that are great for transportation. These roads were originally surveyed with stakes, and then ditches were dug on the sides. Next, curbstones filled in the ditches, and the pavement is made of flat stones that are shaped, and then wedged together. The road is higher than the ditches, so even on rainiest of days, your sandals won’t get wet! 
 * Roads **

 These roads are lined with shops and houses. Merchants come through with goods, and farmers bring animals and crops. The main roads are often traveled and a family on the road is a common sight. But you don’t have to worry about getting run over while shopping, because the roads are built specifically for people, and carriages and chariots are banned during the day! In case you’re still worried, the sidewalks are higher than the street, so if a vehicle lost control, it can’t hurt a pedestrian on a sidewalk!

 Aqueducts  Aqueducts carry water throughout the city. The aqueducts connect to two main reservoirs, and the reservoirs are covered in a concrete tunnel vault. Some are more than 50 miles long! Sewers are used for waste and are constructed under sidewalks. They can be connected to public or private buildings by clay pipes. If the family was wealthy, they could have water right in their house. But most went to the public baths and fountains.
