Tips
The aqueduct, built no earlier than around 100 AD, or perhaps even as late as the beginning of the 3rd century AD, supplied the Roman settlement of Sumelocenna with drinking water. For this purpose, a 7.16-kilometer-long aqueduct was built, carrying water from the springs in the Rommel Valley to a reservoir west of the town. From there, it was distributed via pipes to public fountains, baths, and even some private households.
