Provence's Pont du Gard and the Greatness of Ancient Rome

Everywhere in the ancient world, the waterway seemed like a flag of stone, indicating Roman greatness.

This impressive Roman waterway was built in the 19th century BC. Ponduegar is actually a bridge through the Gardon River - the most beautiful surviving link in this 30-mile structure supports a small canal that decreases by 1 inch every 100 yards. 9 million gallons of water (Jonim is 100 gallons per second, one of the oldest cities in Europe, most aqueducts are in the basement or underground, but in the Pont du Gard it is on the bridge Upper Canyon - this is It is one of the most remarkable memorial monuments in Roman ruins.

I like to visit my ponygirl in Nîmes. Here you can see Castellum: the seemingly calm aquarium, the last end of the 30 miles waterway. The water demand of Roman Nimes exceeds the capacity of local spring water. Imagine a celebration of the system's final operation (AD 50) on that day. Suddenly a lot of water is needed in town - not only basic needs but also cool extras such as public fountains. There is a little social caring in the water distribution hall. The lower waterway has the highest priority and supplies water to public wells of adjacent plazas through stone and piping. Higher hole - wet only when there is sufficient supply - transport of water to wealthy families, large public baths and unimportant fountains
