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.

How was life like in polis
Otrada [13]

Answer:

A polis (plural: poleis) was the typical structure of a community in the ancient Greek world. A polis consisted of an urban centre, often fortified and with a sacred centre built on a natural acropolis or harbour, which controlled a surrounding territory (chora) of land. The term polis has, therefore, been translated as ‘city-state’ as there was typically only one city and because an individual polis was independent from other poleis in terms of political, judicial, legal, religious and social institutions and practices, each polis was in effect a state. Like a state, each polis was also involved in international affairs, both with other poleis and non-Greek states in the areas of trade, political alliances and wars. Other cultures had a similar social and political structure, notably, the Babylonians, Etruscans and Phoenicians, and the latter are believed to be the originators of the polis as a communal unit.    

The polis emerged from the Dark Ages which followed the fall of the Mycenaean civilization in Greece and by the 8th century BCE a significant process of urbanisation had begun. There were eventually over 1,000 poleis in the Greek World but among the most important were Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Syracuse, Aegina, Rhodes, Argos, Eretria, and Elis. The biggest was Sparta, although with some 8,500 km² of territory, this was exceptionally large and most poleis were small in size. However, poleis such as Athens, Rhodes and Syracuse possessed significant naval fleets which also allowed them to control wide areas of territory across the Aegean

How did the proclamation line help to push the colonies toward war with britain?
stepladder [879]
Colonists who lived in the region where the proclamation line did not touch, were angered because they were forced to move towards the cities and ocean. They felt that choosing a home was more important than being under a monarchy that would move them away.
