The Slovak Spectator reports that a second Roman aqueduct was discovered in the Rusovce section of southern Bratislava during renovations at the Rusovce Chateau. A Roman camp housing some 1,000 soldiers stood on the site from the second century to the fourth century A.D. "We can now speak of a higher standard of living for the Romans who lived in the camp in the second century," said Erik Hrnčiarik of Trnava University. "Until now, we believed they lived in much simpler conditions. The second aqueduct proves that there were permanent buildings made of stone and brick around the camp," he explained. The aqueduct carried water from the Danube River and sloped toward the site. Samples of water have been sent for analysis. Traces of additional Roman structures may be resting under Rusovce Chateau, which was built in the twentieth century on the site of a sixteenth-century manor house and an earlier medieval building. To read more about Roman aqueducts, go to "Rome's Lost Aqueduct."

Excavation of Roman aqueduct, Rusovce, SlovakiaErik Hrnčiarik
My son has a back patio view of a Roman aqueduct.
It’s amazing how the Romans could make water flow uphill.
Since it’s in Slovakia, you can’t czech it out.
Romans built it first to beat their arch rivals.
Nice!
Ohh No. LOL!
🙂😊😁😀😃😆😅😂🤣
What have the Romans ever done for us?
Ouch.
Thanks for posting this, very interesting.
My pleasure!
My guess is, the Pythons will go down in history for that one, for the speech impediment scenes in the same movie, and for various “Holy Grail” memes. Oh, and of course, the bloody Vikings’ song.

Were there horses in it? What were the odds?...........
“The aqueduct carried water from the Danube River and sloped toward the site.”
NEWSFLASH: Ancient Roman engineers knew the First Law of Civil Engineering.
Personally, I’m more of a fan of uncivil engineering — border walls, that kind of thing. 😊
Hey, you’re back!
