As Roman towns got bigger, in the course of the Roman Republic, it got too hard for the people who lived in the towns to get drinking and washing water.
Because raw sewage was draining into the rivers, people who drank river water often got very sick or died. Local governments, first in the city of Rome and then elsewhere in the growing Empire, decided to build long stone channels to carry clean water from nearby hills to the towns. This is an aqueduct of the city of Rome: Aqueduct in the city of Rome These were called aqueducts (ACK-wa-ducts), from the Latin word for water (aqua) and the Latin word for channel (ductus).
The aqueduct at Nimes, in southern France (Pont du Gard) These aqueducts were quite a challenge to build.

In all the ancient world, first and foremost clothes needed to be simple. As for possible materials there was only really one. Wool, although to some extent linen was also available. The needles of the day were coarse and unwieldy by modern standards. Hence any stitching or sewing was kept to a minimum. Underwear As undergarments Romans would wear a simply loin cloth knotted on each side.
Undergarments are believed to generally have been of linen. The Tunic So a senator could wear a tunic featuring a vertical broad purple stripe down the centre. It is worth mentioning the tunica palmata which was a brightly coloured tunic embroidered with palm leaves and was worn by the triumphator during his triumph, or possibly by other dignitaries at other, very exceptional occasions.
The richest form of the long-sleeved tunic, the dalmatica, in many cases replaced the toga altogether in the later years of empire. Encyclopedia - Britannica Online Encyclopedia.

Roman Sewage - Ancient Rome for Kids! A Roman latrine In larger Roman towns, people often got sick or died from drinking water that had been contaminated with sewage.
Sewage is human waste - poop or pee. When people drink water with poop in it, they can get other people's germs and get sick with dysentery or die. To fix this problem, many Roman towns built aqueducts to bring in fresh water from the hills outside of the towns. They also built public latrines and systems of sewage pipes to carry sewage out of the streets and dump it into the river. Public latrine at Ostia (Thanks to Lynn Lichtenbaum) There were also big public toilets that had room for lots of people at the same time (this one is from Ostia).
Street drain in a Roman street These sewers just dumped raw sewage into the river, which was better than leaving it lying around in the streets, but still did spread germs sometimes. History - Boudicca.
