About This Tool

The construction of Rome’s first dam began in the early days of the empire. Construction is concentrated in semi-arid regions such as North Africa, Near East and Hispanic provinces. Spain and Italy, in particular, are also much more field-intensive, although they were built in the early days. But it has attracted the world’s attention for its extraordinary height. Until the late Middle Ages, no other country in the world could surpass them.

It is generally recognized that “The Romans had the capacity to plan and organize engineering on a large scale”. The 71 dams, assembled by random tools, were built at different times, reflecting the wisdom and ingenuity of the Romans at different times. The generator contains detailed information about the height, length and width of these dams, as well as the dam’s name, country, construction date and other important information.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of Roman dams and reservoirs.
