The secret source of an extensive ancient Roman aquaduct has been discovered after three years of excavations.
The stone tunnels discovered in the bowels of an ancient church would have served as the source of some of Rome's massive water requirements 2000 years ago.
The Romans were masters of plumbing on a very grand scale and built massive aqueducts which allowed entire cities to be supplied with fresh water.
