Answer:

Aqueducts

Explanation:

Residents could gather water in jugs, buckets, and other containers from several fountains located throughout the city. Water was constantly flowing to these fountains since the 'tap' was always turned on. The pressure in the water was just gravity at work. All the pressure was produced by the water flowing downwards as it entered the city by aqueducts from the highlands. They used a siphon, which was essentially a larger tube for water traveling downhill and a smaller passage for water moving back upwards, producing pressure, as one method of transporting water uphill. The only method to increase water pressure was to move the same volume of water through a smaller opening, like when you place your thumb over a hose's end. Engineers would either build a wider tunnel for water to flow through or design additional channels for water to reach its destination if a bathhouse or community fountain needed more water. While this doesn't necessarily increase water pressure, it does imply that the fountain and bathroom might utilize more water. As the system grew, the supply was simply increased by adding more aqueducts. The Aqua Claudia entered the city via the Esquiline and was spread from there to various locations inside the city, but over time, Rome developed to have five aqueducts supplying the city.

Why do historians needs to be careful about being unbiased when presenting historical information
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is they don't. One day you will take a history class that talks about Hiroshima or the Holocaust. They were both tragedies of a kind that is almost impossible to record with no bias.

But what would happen if you read the history from another point of view. Suppose, which I don't think has been done in any school in North America, you were to read about Hiroshima from the point of view of the Japanese. What have they said about it? What will they teach their children? What is the folklore about it from their point of view? Undoubtedly their best historians will record it without bias, but will be the same as what we read? I'm not entirely sure.

That does not answer your question, but I have grave doubts that it is possible. Personal bias always comes into everything. I will say this about your question: we must do our best to present the facts in an unbiased manner. That's important because we need to have a true picture of what happened. Many times it is because historians don't want humanity committing the same errors as the events they are trying to make sense of.

So far we have not dropped an atomic weapon on anyone else. But there have been holocausts after the European one. What have we learned? That six million is a number beyond our understanding, and we have not grasped the enormity of the crime, bias or no bias.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Conquered peoples being drawn into their conquerors' economic and cultural orbits, as illustrated by Turkic peoples converting to Islam and integrating into Muslim societies .

Explanation:

Few nomadic empires were solidified by placing a capital town inside a captured land and then they abused the business sources of that non-nomadic civilization. In that situation, the formerly nomadic regime may become culturally acclimated to the culture of the conquered country before it is eventually overthrew. The improvements were in the 13th century between 1330 and 1406.
