ItalyThe Aqua Augusta (or Serino Aqueduct) was one of the largest and most complex aqueduct systems in the Roman world, constructed during the Augustan period around 33 BC [1]. Unlike typical Roman aqueducts that served a single city, this regional network supplied water to at least eight cities in the Bay of Naples, including Pompeii and Herculaneum [1] [2] [3]. The system was notable for its engineering complexity, significant length, and high cost [1].
