[edit]

For the Aqua Virgo article I will be improving, I plan on adding more information on the original usage and origins of the Aqua Virgo during the ancient Roman times. I would also like to add more information regarding the construction of these aqueducts and how they might differ from the other 10 main aqueducts feeding water into Rome. I think that adding some additional comparative information on this aqueduct compared to the other main aqueducts feeding the Roman capital would be useful as well. The sentence on how the aqueduct only sloped a total of four meters over it's entire length was also intriguing to me, so I'd like to add more information on that part as well.

Irrelevant "how to build an aqueduct 101" section

[edit]

Why the interminable description of groma, chorobates, lifting tools etc? Totally irrelevant for the article, and not integrated with the Aqua Virgo info at all. 2A02:AA1:1648:1F73:B50A:857C:6E7F:8B79 (talk) 13:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
