Carthage Aqueduct

The Carthage Aqueduct was an advanced ancient water system built by the city of Carthage (located in modern Tunisia) around the 2nd century BCE. It channeled fresh water from distant sources, such as rivers or springs, into the city using a combination of channels, tunnels, and bridges. This engineering feat supported daily life, agriculture, and public baths, showcasing the technological and urban planning skills of the Carthaginians. The aqueduct highlights their ability to manage and transport water over long distances, ensuring a steady supply for one of the ancient Mediterranean's most important cities.
