It is not known. The Romans did not write much about Britain. Traces of Roman aqueducts have been found Traces of aqueducts were found in St. Albans, Chester, Dorchester, Leicester, Bath, Cirencester, Chichester, Colchester, York, Exeter, Ormstead (on Hadrian's Wall) etc. Massive water pipes were unearthed at Lincoln.
What else can I help you with?
What were the ancient roman aqueducts made of?
aqueducts were made of a combination of stone, brick and a special volcanic cement
How did the Romans ensure that the water from the aqueducts reach the city?
The Romans did not ensure that the water from the aqueducts reached the city. The water did not come from the aqueducts. It came from the sources on the mountains. The aqueducts were what made the water reach the city. They were water conduits which carried the water. An incline was what made the water move. Down the sides of the mountains it was the slope which provided the incline. In flat areas the conduit was placed on bridgework which had a slight incline. Most of the aqueducts were underground conduits.
When were the first highways and aqueducts built in Rome?
312 bce
Who invented aqueducts?
Nobody is sure of who first invented the aqueducts, but as the first one began its construction in 312 B.C., it might have been Appius Claudius Caecus, because he was the one who ruled Rome at that time, but it could have been also a pauper that gave the idea or inspiration to start building aqueducts.
What were the engineering triumphs that brought water to roman cities?
What conveyed water to the cities was the aqueduct. What made the construction of long aqueducts which needed bridgework was the arch. The Romans were not the first to use the arch, but they were the first to make widespread use of it. Prior to the Romans, the arch was rare. The structural strength of the arch made the construction of large buildings and bridgework possible.

What makes aqueducts Roman?
The Romans were the first to use and create aqueducts.
When were the aqueducts made?
In Ancient Rome
What group first made the Roman aqueducts?
No group built the Roman aqueducts. During the Roman Republic the construction of the aqueducts was commissioned by the censors, who were public official who were responsible, among other things, for public works. The job was then tendered to constructors. During the period of rule by emperors which followed the republic, the emperors were responsible for the construction of aqueducts

What aqueducts looked like?
Aqueducts cacn either be about 3-4 feet wide circular or square tunnels mostly made with stone underground.
Why did Romans use lead pipes for aqueducts?
It wasn't. Aqueducts were made of stone, engineered to amazingly exact specifications, then polished and smoothed. Lead was actually advised against for the use in aqueducts, for its toxicity, by Vitruvius in De Architectura.
What do you think was the Romans' greatest engineering accomplishment?
the carvings of god carrying his cross and crucified him:)
What were Rome two reasons success in expanding its power across Italy?
aqueducts and roads because aqueducts was how the water got around and the roads made trade and it made traveling easier for the people and the army.
