At the time of the Roman Empire, the Romans used pipes made of lead, because it is a cheap metal that is easily worked into pipes, and which unlike iron doesn't rust. The Romans didn't worry about lead poisoning. Lead pipes continued to be used even into the mid 20th century, before we became more concerned about the danger of lead poisoning.


How did the Romans build pipes?

They used a type of mold. The smaller pipes, such as for household use or public fountains were usually of lead. The larger pipes, such as those used for aqueducts, were made of ceramic. The workshop of the Tenth Legion was recently found in Israel with the remains of the ceramic pipes and the kilns used to fire them.
