The first sewerage system in Rome was made sometime in the 6th century BC during the reign of Terquinius Priscus. However the exact date is unknown. It is known as the Cloaca Maxima, or the "Great Sewer". It started out as a open canal going through the forum and remained that way until sometime in the 2nd century BC when it was finally covered over and became a sewer as we think of sewers today.

Why did the Romans build the aqueducts?

The Romans built most of their aqueducts underground because that was the most practical and efficient way to move the water. Underground structures needed less labor to build and less maintenance as they were not subject to the elements. Also, in some areas underground aqueducts were necessary because water flows down. If a hill or mountain intervenes, it might make the aqueduct impractical unless it were made underground to go through a hill or slope.
