It is estimated that Roman Sewers were invented between 800 and 735 BC. The open channel Cloaca Maxima is guessed to be built sometime between the sixth and fourth century BC. It was built to drain the low lying land that was in the Forum. From the Cloaca Maxima, a network of sewers was gradually built.
