# Roman Civilization

In modern historiography, ancient Rome is the Roman civilisation from the founding of the Italian city of Rome in the 8th century BC to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. It encompasses the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), the Roman Republic (509–27 BC), and the Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD) until the fall of the western empire.

## Quotes

* Rome has bequeathed us understandings of freedom and citizenship, as well as imperialist exploitation, along with today's political vocabulary from "senators" to "dictators." He has lent us his sayings — "fear the Greeks, even if they bring gifts" and "play the violin while Rome burns" and even "where there is life, there is hope". And he has evoked laughter, awe and fear to a more or less equal extent.
** Mary Beard, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome (2017), p. 15

# Roman aqueduct

The Roman aqueduct is the type of aqueduct built in ancient Rome, that supplied fountains, latrines, public baths, and private households; it also supported farms, gardens, milling, and mining operations. Rome's first aqueduct was built in 312 BC. By the 3rd century AD, the city had [[List of aqueducts in the city of Rome|eleven aqueducts]. Cities and towns throughout the Roman Empire emulated this model, and funded aqueducts as objects of public interest and civic pride

## Quotes

* The extraordinary greatness of the Roman Empire manifests itself above all in three things: the aqueducts, the paved roads, and the construction of the drains.
** Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities (c. 7 BCE), as cited by Lorenzo Quilici, "Land Transport, Part 1: Roads and Bridges" in The Oxford Handbook of Engineering and Technology in the Classical World (2008)
* ... the Roman prudence was more particularly employed on matters which had received but little attention from the Greeks, such as paving their roads, constructing aqueducts, and sewers, to convey the sewage of the city into the Tiber. In fact, they have paved the roads, cut through hills, and filled up valleys, so that the merchandise may be conveyed by carriage from the ports. The sewers, arched over with hewn stones, are large enough in some parts for waggons loaded with hay to pass through; while so plentiful is the supply of water from the aqueducts, that rivers may be said to flow through the city and the sewers, and almost every house is furnished with water-pipes and copious fountains.
** Strabo, Geography (c. 7 BCE – 18 CE) 5.3.8, as translated by H. C. Hamilton (London: George Bell & Sons, 1903)
* But let us now turn our attention to some marvels that, if justly appreciated, may be pronounced to remain unsurpassed... If we take into account the abundant supply of water to the public, for baths, ponds, canals, household purposes, gardens, places in the suburbs and country houses, and then reflect upon the distances that are traversed from the sources on the hills, the arches that have been constructed, the mountains pierced, the valleys leveled, we must perforce admit that there is nothing more worthy of our admiration throughout the whole universe.
** Pliny the Elder, Natural History (CE 77–79) 36.24.121–123, as translated by John Bostock and H. T. Riley, vol. 6 (London: Henry G. Bohn, 1857), p. 353
