Roman Aqueduct
The Pantheon: Section and Plan
Welcome to the Amazing World of the Romans!
The Romans weren't just the most fearsome fighting force in the ancient Mediterranean - they were also universally admired for the heights to which they took civilization and all of its trappings. From the most extensive road system across three continents, to immense and awe-inspiring enclosed spaces, to the most elaborate waterworks of the entire ancient world, it was the Romans who perfected many of the conveniences and constructions that we take for granted today. When the luxury-addicted emperors wanted a problem solved, the Romans usually succeeded - with enduring results!
