That they managed such precise gradients back then is truly astounding.

The gradient of the Pont du Gard is only 34 cm [a bit over one foot] per km, descending only 17 m [50 feet] vertically in its entire length of 50 km (31 mi)(wiki)

PS: What’s astounding about it today is the total lack of graffiti. ;)
