The Roman Aqueducts

Romans constructed numerous aqueducts to supply water to cities and industrial sites. These aqueducts were among the greatest engineering feats of the ancient world, and set a standard not equaled for over a thousand years after the fall of Rome. Many cities still maintain and use the ancient aqueducts even today, although open channels have usually been replaced by pipes.

@meesromijn Democracy is Greek but it was the Romans who spread Democracy to the rest of the known world (the west) leading to the British and Democratic USA....and now half the World.

@antrickfull Rome isn't resposible for Democracy, Athens is.

However indeed without the Romans we wouldn't have a lot of stuff we have now

@TheFederalEurope Few of them do. Most of the aqueducts outside the Empire collapsed or stopped working after centuries due to calcium deposits from hard water and a lack of an organized maintenance team. Rome's aqueducts were cut by the Goths in 537 AD, but a few of them were rebuilt in between the fifteenth century and the present. Several other Roman-built aqueducts that still function outside of Italy include those in Almunecar, Spain, and the Diocletianus Aqueduct in Solin, Croatia.
