Aqueduct
An aqueduct is a channel or structure built to carry water from a source to a city, often across valleys on arches. The Romans built extensive aqueduct networks to supply baths, fountains and households throughout their territory. Surviving aqueducts are among the most visible legacies of Roman engineering and the Roman Empire.
