Since water was not in the area, the Romans had to collect water from other main sources such as rivers or lakes. They had to build large bridges with a canal on top which had the flowing water that always went downward to keep it flowing.]]> 2017-08-29 19:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183507139 296098 https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183562591 Roman Roads are as we know as, "cobblestone roads" since there are multiple stones that are placed to fit next to each other with the gaps filled with pebbles or sand.

Tunnels were hard to make because in order to make them quicker, they would have to start at the 2 opposite ends of the tunnel and meet at a specific point. They didn't have computers to calculate it though so it was much harder to dig straight and in line. However, the 6km long tunnel used to drain the Fucine still took around 30,000 workers and took about 11 years]]> 2017-08-30 01:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183572173 296098 https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183574044 2017-08-30 01:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183574044 296098 https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183709823 2017-08-30 15:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183709823 296098 https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183710151 2017-08-30 15:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183710151 296098 https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183710662 2017-08-30 15:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183710662 296098 https://padlet.com/296098/anf49o39yb4z/wish/183763259 The Roman dome was made on the ground for convenience and was hoisted up to the top. Today, you can still see some resemblances to the dome on some of the most famous buildings such as the California Capitol and the U.S. Capitol.
