if you can find me some good pics, I think i could create something

Couldn't find anything of the one in Pompeii (I think was actually the Aqua Augusta...), but this is the sort of thing I had in mind

This is the aqueduct in Segovia (Spain), but you get the general idea

Hmm, yeah I can do that...will add it to my list, but first I'm gonna finish another ancient wonder I'm working on...

Emperor Xerxes has hit the nail on the head there with his reply. Course, when your...effluence was leaking into the water supply and giving all around cholera, it wasn't so private anymore.

If my memory isn't failing, they look relatively similar to Outhouses (atleast I think that's what they were like up here in Scotland, I'm not old enough to know )

Ok, I have some further information. It turns out that later they forgot about the whole "only 5 floors" thing. Insted, later Industrial Tenements would have up to 14 floors. In the Modern Age, though, the Tenements in Britain from the Victorian Era were deemed unfit to live in and many were torn down. Later, though, they realised that they could be converted into Flats, which they did to many of the remaining ones.

Do you still want me to do that, or are you satisfied with Emperor Xerxes's Roman Aqueduct ?

The Roman Aqueduct looks fine to me. But thanks for the offer...

I really like this insula. Having a city that can grow to size 3 well before you can build hospitals is a really good idea IMHO.

ok, then there is no hurry to do my version, someday i will do that, as I don't like Xerxes C3 version, but so I got time...
