The Romans did not provide water for the poor. They provided water for all the citizens of Rome. They did so by building aqueducts which brought the water from the sources on the nearby mountains to the city. They built the first aqueduct in 315 BC because the population of the city had outgrown the local supply of water. Therefore, there was a need to bring water from the mountains to meet the increasing demand. Moreover, when this happened Rome was still a republic. Rule by emperors begun 288 years after this. Therefore, building aqueducts was not necessarily related to emperors. Bread and circuses was not a rule. It was the opinion the Roman elite had about the poor. They thought that feeding and entertaining the poor was needed to prevent riots. Despite this, there were still times when riots did occur.

How did the Chinese describe Roman emperors?

The Chinese referred to Roman emperors as "Daqin Wang," meaning "King of the Great Qin," in texts such as the "Records of the Grand Historian" and other historical accounts. This term reflected their perception of Rome as a distant, powerful civilization. The Chinese were aware of the Roman Empire's vast influence and wealth, often emphasizing its grandeur and sophistication in comparison to their own society. However, the exact details and names of individual emperors were often lost or generalized in these descriptions.
