ancient rome's advanced engineering, which included aqueducts, sewers, and plumbing systems that archaeologists still study.

Ancient Rome's use of lead in its aqueduct system was unwise because it ended up being too expensive to maintain.

Most lead came from faraway colonies, so the system cost a fortune to build, expand, and maintain. This wasn't a problem when Rome was at the top of its game.

To chart the growth and decline of ancient Rome, archaeologists measured lead in different depths of soil in Rome's harbors.
