Engineering: Aqueducts This aqueduct, built in Segovia, Spain, by the Romans, was a bridge- like stone structure that brought water from the hills into Roman cities. The availability of fresh water was important to the Romans. Wealthy homes had water piped in, and almost every city boasted both female and male public baths. In public baths, people gathered not only to wash themselves but to hear the latest news and exchange gossip.
