One fascinating and lesser-known fact about the Roman Empire is that it was also a leader in the development of water engineering and sanitation systems. In Rome, major aqueducts were built to transport water from distant sources, feeding into public baths, fountains, and private households. The city's sewer system, known as the Cloaca Maxima, was also remarkably advanced for its time, providing a basic form of waste management and infrastructure that eventually inspired similar systems in other cities.
