<u>Aquaducts were Roman systems for water supplies, made so the water could be distributed to far cities and towns. They supported public baths, fountains, farms, and gardens.</u> Romans did build aqueducts all around Europe, and they have remained largely until today. However, they are not the only Roman architectural achievements that can be seen around Europe. What is unique to them is that they are not built for beauty or with much decoration purposes, but for functionality. Romans usually used architecture to show their wealth and art, which can be seen on the remains of the houses, baths, forums, etc. <u>Aquaducts were their purely functional invention.</u>
