The Roman aquaduct system was an incredible advancement. Their concrete was also amazing.

The lead pipes and cookware?

That one did not age well.

There are a lot of fairly fairly well preserved Roman and medieval ruins under Naples due to successive eruptions of Vesuvius. There is a history Channel show called “Cities Of The Underworld” that spends a whole episode on Naples. Massive water cisterns, aqueducts, sewers and an incredibly well preserved city street are among the finds.
