Who were the first who successfully manipulated the flow of
water and made it possible to construct baths, fountains and
other works thanks to the culture’s incredible engineering.

   French
   Germans
   Romans
   Chinese

Your answer was: Romans.
You are correct!!


Answer: The city’s fountains are deeply rooted in the history of Rome itself, as well as the more ancient foundations of the Roman Empire, which spanned the first five centuries A.D. Water was as much a part of Roman history as any other and some of the most famous Roman aqueducts and fountains are still standing to this day across much of Italy and other parts of the world.

The Roman Empire was the first that successfully manipulated the flow of water and made it possible to construct baths, fountains and other works thanks to the culture’s incredible engineering. Fountains were a central part of Roman culture and the significance of fountains have been more or less characteristic of Italian culture as a whole over the last several centuries.
