Rome was served by 11 aqueducts. There was a marker in the main forum at Rome from which all distances were measured. The Colosseum, had poor acoustics. The Romans invented the taxi meter. Augustus erected a giant sundial for marking the hours of the day. The Romans invented concrete. The Vestal virgins were the ones who stored and kept people's wills.
