Modern Plumbing and Sanitary Management
One thing that people often overlook when they imagine life in the past is just how smelly it was. Streets were covered in piss and shit, and people didn’t use deodorant. However, this wasn’t a huge issue in Ancient Rome. Why? Because they had created excellent sewage systems that kept the streets clear of human waste via drainage pipes that were regularly flushed. They also had covered gutter systems that helped keep everything as clean as possible.
