The city of Rome itself, as well as other Roman cities were supplied by the surrounding countryside as far as fresh food supplies were concerned. Grain was mostly imported and that came by way of ships to their port of Ostia. Other supplies, such as household goods and materials for manufacturing items were also imported either by ship or overland. The army carried its own supply train in addition to requisitioning supplies from the territories they were in or passing through.

What were the Roman aqueducts like?

A lot of people now days say the Romans weren't civilised because they are comparing the Roman ways to now a days! If you compared the Romans ways to the Tudors for example you would say they were civilised because the Romans have a way of keeping hygienic and the Tudors didn't, the Romans have a sewage system and the Tudor sewers went straight into the River Temps. The Romans constructed the aqueducts to bring a constant flow of water from distant supplies into cities, towns, public baths, public toilets, fountains and private households. Waste water was removed by the sewage systems and released into rivers, keeping the towns clean and free from cholera.
