Aquaduct Ruins

We got a glimpse of original aquaducts while exploring today (~2000 years old!)

Quick highlights thanks to Rick Steves:

- Romans considered good drinking water essential to health
- Water was transferred in from up to 50 miles away via these aquaducts (all by gravity)
- Today, Rome still gets its water from mineral springs - Some of which are naturally frizzy! (Frizzante)

This last point was especially interesting to us since every eatery we've been to in Rome has offered water as still or frizzante.
