The water fountain in the Forum

Today we walked around the forum, and right when I thought I was going to faint because of a lack of water, my prayers were answered and one of Rome's trusty aqueduct fountains stood before me. As I knelt down and took a sip of the pure cool water, I took a step back and really took notice of my surroundings. Was it possible that the aqueduct that was helping to quench my thirst was used by ancient Romans 2500 years ago? Contemplating that idea brought me back to the realization of how amazing it is that I'm actually fortunate enough to have the experience to view the ruins of the infamous ancient Roman civilization. I ended up filling my water bottle three times, I still can't get over how delicious the water is that flows out of these fountains!
