Water is a necessity for life, and with Rome’s geography, it was hard to get it to the dispersed cities. Rome was close to the ocean, but had no way to efficiently get water to everyone in their compact cities. This is where the Aqueducts came into play, the Aqueduct was a system of intake filters and underground tunnels that deliver water to the Roman cities. The Aqueduct supplied water to the markets and to many homes all around the city. Without this the Roman Empire would not have flourished as much as it did, the Aqueducts gave water all around the cities, they would not have had a reputation as technologically advanced Empire, and Rome would not have made a comfortable life for their people.
