How old is the aqueduct at nimes?

Answer 1

The most accurate answer to your question would be "as long as it took". The time spent on constructing an aqueduct depended upon its length, and type and the terrain it had to cover. The Romans were highly efficient builders and organizers and the military did most of the building of the aqueducts, roads, bridges, etc. As most aqueducts were under ground, it was basically a matter of digging and lining and the project could be finished very quickly. The above ground aqueducts took slightly more time as the arches and supports had to be constructed.

Answer 2

The aqueduct in Nimes (called the Pont du Gard) is about 2000 years old.

Answer 3

Some sections of the Roman aqueducts that were used to bring water to Rome and allow Romans better control of the sea are believed to be around 2000 years old.

Answer 4

The aqueducts were in various sizes, depending on the landscape and distance. However some of them were quite short in stature as they were underground.
