Roman aqueduct
Empire's water channel
A Roman aqueduct is a water channel built by the ancient Romans to transport water from distant sources to cities and towns.
These engineering structures used gravity to move water across valleys and uneven terrain, often featuring iconic tiered stone arches: The Roman aqueduct at Segovia still stands after two thousand years.
The term appears in discussions of ancient infrastructure and engineering achievements.
