8 ROME Rome was one of the largest cities on earth with a population of over million people. There were six-story high apartment buildings, each with up to 380 residents. It was two and a half times more densely populated than modern Manhattan Island of New York City. ROME ROME Under the roads were sewage systems that swept away 500 tons of waste a day. Rome maintained a police force, a fire brigade, postal service, 30 libraries, 3 theaters, and 80 temples. Over 200,000 tons of grain are needed each year or the Roman people would starve, and one out of five is already on welfare. Rome s ruler was Emperor Claudius needed the support of his people to stay in power, so he ordered handouts for the poor. However, there was not enough bread to go around. ROME Riots were part of life in Rome, and it was a way for people to get their message across to their Emperor. Worried that riots would break out, Claudius started one of the largest engineering projects in the Roman Empire. AQUEDUCTS The nine aqueducts of imperial Rome brought in water from mountain lakes and springs as far as miles. They had a capacity of more than 300 million gallons per day. The CLAUDIAN AQUEDUCT was one of nine aqueducts of the imperial city of Rome. The Claudias named it Aqua Claudia, the water from Claudius. Aqua Claudia could carry 53,000,000 gallons per day. 8
9 Carved through the countryside, they tunneled through mountains and built bridges of vast structure across the huge amounts of space without modern tools. The Aqueduct was powered by gravity. It dropped 1 foot for every 300 feet. If it was too steep, the water would over flow, and if it was too shallow, it would run dry. 9
10 AQUEDUCTS It would take 14 years to build and over 400,000 blocks of stone as well as 6,000,000 sq. ft. of concrete to complete the Aqua Claudia. The 9 aqueducts would deliver enough water in a day for 1,300 fountains, 900 basins, and 144 public toilets, which made Rome one of the most advanced cities in the world. The Aqua Claudia cost equivalently $83 billion, ten times more than the Hoover dam.

12 Roman Roads Roman Roads Roman roads were physical infrastructure vital to the maintenance and development of the Roman state. They provided efficient means for the overland movement of armies, officials, and civilians, and the inland carriage of official communications and trade goods. Roman roads were of several kinds, ranging from small local roads to broad, long-distance highways built to connect cities, major towns and military bases. These major roads were often stonepaved and metaled, cambered for drainage, and were flanked by footpaths, bridleways and drainage ditches. They were laid along accurately surveyed courses, and some were cut through hills, or conducted over rivers and ravines on bridgework. Sections could be supported over marshy ground on rafted or piled foundations. Roman Roads Roman Roads At the peak of Rome's development, no fewer than 29 great military highways radiated from the capital, and the late Empire's 113 provinces were interconnected by 372 great roads. Roman roads comprised more than 248,000 miles of roads, of which almost 50,000 miles were stone-paved. In Gaul alone, no less than 13,000 miles of roadways are said to have been improved, and in Britain at least 2,500 miles. The courses (and sometimes the surfaces) of many Roman roads survived for millennia. Some are overlaid by modern roads. Wikipedia 12
