The Assyrians built bridges for carrying water first, around 700 BC.Three hundred years later, the Romans improved the technique and builthuge stone aqueducts to supply their cities with running water. They builtRoman aqueducts all over the Roman Empire, and people may still see theirarches in Greece, Italy, France, Spain, and North Africa.         The aqueducts supplied fresh water to public baths and for drinkingwater in large cities of the empire, and set a standard of engineering that noother country could surpass for more than a thousand years. Those stonebridges were a special feature of Roman aqueducts, so the word "aqueduct"often means a bridge for carrying water.         During the 4th and 5th centuries, people destroyed the systems. Now themost famous surviving examples of Roman aqueducts are the Pont du Gard inFrance and the Aqueduct of Segovia in Spain.
