"[The city's engineers excelled in areas] neglected by the Greeks, such as the construction of roads and
aqueducts, and of sewers that could wash the filth of the city into the Tiber. They have built paved
roads throughout the country, leveling ridges and filling up hollows, so as to make possible the
movements of heavily loaded wagons. . . . And such is the quantity of water brought in by the
aqueducts, that veritable rivers flow through the city and its sewers: almost every house has cisterns,
waterpipes, and copious fountains."
—Strabo, as quoted in
Empires Ascendant: Time Frame 400 B.C.-AD. 200
