We know that the roman sewers were very large just by looking at them. Many of the Roman sewers or parts of them are still evident today. The main sewer for the city of Rome was the Cloaca Maxima and parts of it can still be seen. Some of the ancient sewers are still usable. We also have the literature left by some ancient writers on the makeup of the sewers and their dimensions.
