The Romans – Public Health and Water
|The Romans – Public Health and Water |
| |
|The Romans were the first civilization to introduce a public health system. They had to do this because Rome had grown in size and it was impossible to find a |
|natural source of fresh water in the city. It was also necessary to find a way of disposing of the rubbish to prevent pollution causing health problems. |
