Blog Day Forty-Seven: Aqueducts

Today for our class we were asked to find a picture of Roman architecture and describe it. Here is mine.

This is a picture of an aqueduct in Rome. They were very useful in getting water from water sources to Roman cities. These structures could stretch for many miles for get water for those that needed it. The arching structure was also very important for the stability of the aqueducts. Another fact about the aqueducts was that they sloped downhill in order to get the water to the cities. Aqueducts were essential for Roman living.
