| Roman Aqueduct |
The ancient civilization of Rome was one of the first to build aqueducts. These were underground conduits that carried water from a source to an urban center. The aqueducts accomplished this by using the force of gravity. A special feature of these aqueducts is that they have arches in them. This is a major architectural development/feature. These arches in structures were used by Romans to equally distribute the weight of the structure evenly. Other than the aqueducts, Romans had many other features and developments that are still used around the world today.
