** Aquaducts: **

Aquaducts were a highly advanced waterway that was designed to carry away diseases in the running water, plumbing and sewers. The aquaducts were a great break though in engineering for the Romans. Normally, you see waterways in our country that are old and don’t look very nice, but the aquaducts were very visible but were a glorious piece of art that layered on streets of Roman. Some of the ancient aquaducts are still used today in various places.

The aquaducts were constructed of different combinations, that included rock, volcanic cement, brick and pozzuolana. This created strong walls for the structure, which makes it’s remains very define today. Most of the aquaducts built, approximately stretched 260 miles, but only 30miles of that, were visible.

When the water reached Rome, it flowed into enormous reservoirs that sat on the highest ground. These enormous reservoirs held the water supply for the city and were connected to a network of lead pipes. Public fountains, baths and private villas could tap into the network, When water was needed. Depending on the amount of water needed sometimes the uses had to pay a fee.This was a great luxury for Rome and this made many links for the futu

Dear Diary,

Today I went shopping in the city square of the Iberian peninsula. It was absolutely perfect day. I had a marvellous time, because I had never been down to the markets, before. Mum always thought I was to young to go. We went down to stalls and brought some more seeds to sew into our crop beds, before the Winter reaches. Daddy has been showing me the importance of conserving water, because when the summer comes, we get hardly any rainfall, which makes it hard for our crops to last through the summers heat. I know this sounds weird, but I am really enjoying aging. I am only 7 and I am already aloud to take trips to the city square and help in the garden.

Now I am lying on my thin mattress waiting for my dumpling stu to cook. I can hear a thumping, it sounds like an army’s footsteps racing toward my house. Mum is screaming for me and my brother to hide but I have nowhe......... __** 5. **__ __**Below is a climograph for Rome**____**.** **From this information, what crops do you think would have been grown?**__

In the month of June and July, this is the hottest time of the year. The highest that the temperature gets all year round is 35.C. In January and December, the temperature is the lowest that it gets all year round. The lowest temperature is around 9.C- 10.C. In this climate, the Romans grew many staple crops that included various grains, olives and grapes. During the winter, there was enough water to grow decent crops to last through the summer, but because there is so much rainfall in winter there isan’t much rainfall in the summer, so the ancient roman’s conserved water to last through the dry summer, which from my researched lasted from, March to August.
