If you go to Ancient Rome, you will definitely see these huge bridge-like structures. They aren’t actually bridges. They are called aqueducts. They are the ancient Rome’s way of getting water. They would get their water from the Mediterranean Sea and then it would come back to the cities. The emperor would have their own tunnel that would lead to there house. They had their own personal water. The water came from the highest point in the city. Then they would go through the channels and tunnels for distribution. When you go to Ancient Rome, you would use the water to drink and for baths. The larger the pipes are, the more expensive the water would. The pipes are made out of lead, ceramics, leather, or wood. Anywhere you go, you will see and/or use these aqueducts. If you think about,Aqueducts are like our plumbing system today.
