<p>Roman aqueducts were marvels of ancient engineering, supplying water to cities for public baths, fountains, and the homes of the elite. The
engineering involved in constructing these aqueducts was advanced for its time. Greek engineers pioneered early aqueducts, with innovations such as the stone-lined channel in Archaic Athens and the pressurized water systems of
Pergamon. Romans, however, took aqueduct construction to new heights by incorporating arches and hydraulic concrete, and building extensive networks capable of transporting millions of gallons of water daily.</p>
