A major storm recently hit Pompeii, covering the ancient streets with rushing water. Yet one detail still stands out: the city was designed with elevated sidewalks, stepping stones and an advanced drainage system that helped manage heavy rainfall nearly 2,000 years ago. The Roman Empire is long gone, but its engineering still leaves people speechless. Roma Aeterna. #Pompeii #AncientRome #RomanEngineering #RomanEmpire #History
