The Importance Of Water In Ancient Rome

As a summary of Chapter 1, the historical materials dealt with the founding history of Riwius, the Ovidius' s calendar etc in this chapter. Based on these historical materials, we examined the relationship between Rome and water in the era of Roman founding.

Rome had plenty of swamps and streams. That is why Romans applied it as a fortress and began to live. Indeed, the ancient Romans used water to separate them from other ethnic groups. Water was a clear boundary that divides unclear things. However, by constructing Cloaka Maxima, as the drainage progressed, a political place beyond ethnic boundaries was born, which has led to the reconciliation. From here, we are convinced that the idea as a thing separating from water is getting faded among

In this theme, we demonstrated the importance of water in an ancient Roman city, exemplifying Tamgadi. Also, we analyzed how the water supplied by the tap water was chosen.Not only the ancient Romans constructed aqueducts to support cities within the Roman Empire, but also to utilize the water service to attract other ethnic groups to the city they established.

It can be deliberated that the root was to use water as a key point of their identity under the threat of other ethnic groups.

The answer question of B related to religion is as follows. Originally water was an object of faith and awe for ancient Romans, regardless of the capital Rome, it was very strongly connected to politics and religion.
