Modern History: Ancient Roman Aqueducts

The Roman Empire is known for its impressive aqueduct system, which transported water over long distances to support their cities. This early engineering marvel laid the groundwork for modern water supply systems and emphasized the importance of efficient water distribution. Lessons from these aqueducts continue to inform water management practices today.

Roman aqueduct systems were built over a period of about 500 years, from 312 B.C.E. to C.E. 226. Both public and private funds paid for construction. The Roman aqueduct was a channel used to transport fresh water to highly populated areas. Aqueducts were amazing feats of engineering given the time period. Though earlier civilizations in Egypt and India also built aqueducts, the Romans improved on the structure and built an extensive and complex network across their territories.

High-ranking rulers often had them built; the Roman emperors Augustus, Caligula, and Trajan all ordered aqueducts built. Aqueducts required a great deal of planning. They were made from a series of pipes, tunnels, canals, and bridges. Gravity and the natural slope of the land allowed aqueducts to channel water from a freshwater source, such as a lake or spring, to a city.

As water flowed into the cities, it was used for drinking, irrigation, and to supply hundreds of public fountains and baths. The most recognizable feature of Roman aqueducts may be the bridges constructed using rounded stone arches. Some of these can still be seen today traversing European valleys. The capital in Rome alone had around 11 aqueduct systems supplying freshwater from sources as far as 92 kilometers away (57 miles).

Ancient Roman aqueducts, a marvel of engineering from over two millennia ago, hold significant relevance to contemporary water-related issues. For example, Roman aqueducts have been relevant nowadays demonstrating the feasibility of transporting water over long distances through complex networks of channels and pipes. This engineering legacy has directly influenced modern water supply systems and the design of pipelines and aqueducts used today.

In short, Roman aqueducts were a system of water supply and distribution constructed by the ancient Romans. These aqueducts were an intricate network of channels, pipes, and tunnels designed to transport fresh water from natural sources, such as springs and rivers, to cities, towns, and industrial facilities throughout the Roman Empire. Roman aqueducts were essential for sustaining the growth and development of Roman cities, as they provided a reliable source of clean water for drinking, sanitation, and various industrial processes.

【 TRAINEE MISSION / REFLECTION VLOG 】 ✎...312 words

he doesn't understand why people didn't enjoy their time on this trip. the cruise had various activities onboard, not to mention getting the opportunity to visit different places and countries whenever he step foot on land. excluding workshops that were compulsory for trainees to attend, his ten-day itinerary was packed with things to do and locations to explore. and the best part would be waking up knowing there are fun things awaiting for him and new locations that are not the training rooms to explore.

things got more stressful after he returned to reality or in other words, post-vacation blues. having to record this vlog didn't help at all as he recalled the fun times he had during the past week. it was evident from his expression as he gave details on what he did during the trip. "growing up, i've never learned how to cook. moreover, guys nowadays are great at cooking so attending a traditional chinese cooking workshop was an opportunity to see whether i'm talented in this area. this is going to be embarrassing but unfortunately, i have to learn to differentiate ingredients first before learning how to cook." he gives a sheepish smile as he remembers the incident.

"as the saying goes, you're never too old to learn! i never knew there are different types of vinegar used during cooking. and i can soak onions in a bowl of water before chopping them to prevent my eyes from burning! wow, i didn't know all of that. these are skills that one can never get from inside a classroom." he tilts his head, amused by his own discovery.

"it was nice of legacy to let us catch a break and now i think i'm more than ready to work harder." that was a lie. yichen will have a hard time finding his old routine again after a week-long break.

Episode Arc (and Clumping) Guide for Star Wars: Rebels + Dark Disciple Audiobook Chapter/Episode Correlation

Because I could never find an "arc" guide online for Rebels, and as my favorite Star Wars podcast is transitioning into their Rebels era, I decided to clean up and post this list I made that tries to sort/clump episodes together based on shared plotlines, characters, or as failsafe, movieish-sized chunks. The point is to make a sort of manageable, weekly checklist for rewatches.

I'm also including my personal assessment of which of the unmade episode titles for the Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos arcs correlate to which chapters of the Dark Disciple audiobook, so you can listen to them in "episode" chunks over the next couple weeks before it is covered on AMCA.

Star Wars: Rebels

Season 1

[101, 102] - Spark of Rebellion

103, 104, 105 - Droids in Distress, Fighter Fright, Rise of the Old Masters

106, 107 - Breaking Ranks and Out of Darkness

[108, 109] - Tseebo Arc

110, 111, 112 - Path of the Jedi, Idiot's Array, and Vision of Hope

[113, 114, 115] - Tarkin Arc(in)

Season 2

[201, 202] - Siege of Lothal

[203, 204], 205 - Clone Arc + Always Two There Are

[Garel Arc] [206, 207, 208] - Brothers of the Broken Horn, Wings of the Master, and Blood Sisters

215, 216, 217 - The Call, Homecoming, and The Honorable Ones

[Garel Arc] [209, 210, 211] - Stealth Strike, The Future of the Force, and Legacy

212, 213, 214 - A Princess on Lothal, Protector of the Concord Dawn, and Legends of the Lasat

218, [219, 220] - Shroud of Darkness + Chopper Arc

[221, 220] - Twilight of the Apprentice

Season 3

[301, 302] - Steps Into Shadow

303, 304 - The Holocrons of Fate, The Antilles Extraction

305, 306 - Hera's Heroes, The Last Battle

307, 308, 309 - Imperial Supercommandos, Iron Squadron, The Wynkahthu Job

310, 311 - An Inside Man, Visions and Voices

[312, 313] - Ghosts of Geonosis

314, [315, 316] - Warhead + [Darksaber Arc]

317, 318, 319 - Through Imperial Eyes, Secret Cargo, Double Agent Droid

320, [321, 322] - Twin Suns + Zero Hour

Season 4

[401, 402] - Heroes of Mandalore

[403, 404] - In the Name of the Rebellion

[405, 406, 407, 408] - Prototype Arc

[Lothal] [409, 410, 411] - Rebellion Arc

[Lothal] [412, 413, 414] - Loth-wolf Arc

[415, 416] - Family Reunion - and Farewell

Dark Disciple

Ch. 1-7 (Episode 1) - Lethal Alliance

Ch. 8-12 (Episode 2) - The Mission

Ch. 13-17 (Episode 3) - Dark Disciple

Ch. 18-21 (Episode 4) - Conspirators

Ch. 22-25 (Episode 5) - Saving Vos, Part 1

Ch. 26-30 (Episode 6) - Saving Vos Part 2

Ch. 31-36 (Episode 7) - Traitors

Ch. 37-42 (Episode 8) - The Path

The only place I could find online that has attempted to make a similar chapter-episode breakdown was the Clone Wars wikia, which has no source for the information, and in my opinion, cannot be correct to the actual produced chapters of the audiobook. At the very least, Dark Disciples and Conspirators were switched from their original script order just based on the actual content of the audiobook chapters.

Ancient races, telepaths, planet-killer starships, a warrior caste cabal that refuses to accept the war is over and a cliffhanger ending that leaves our heroes at their lowest point. ‘Aurora Burning’ has all this. But as I’ll discuss, so did some popular 1990s sci-fi.

‘Aurora Burning’ is the second part of the ‘Aurora Cycle’ trilogy. Before reading further, you should read my comments on book 1 (‘Aurora Rising’) as this review builds on my previous post.

Advancing the plot & multiple viewpoints

One of my criticisms of ‘Aurora Rising’ is it was largely a novel devoted to developing the key characters, while only doing the mot basic set up for the major plot arc of the trilogy. ‘Aurora Burning’ continues to develop the characters, but the story arc is moved forward much more in book two. The big picture plot finally begins to unfold, as Squad 312 race across the galaxy seeking to acquire the ultimate weapon they need for the battle with the ancient enemy.

The ‘multiple viewpoints’ issue I complained of in my review of book one isn’t as much of a big deal here. In part this is because we’re more familiar with the characters. But it’s also made easier because for much of the book the characters are in different locations or solving problems that are unique to them.

My enjoyment of the story has definitely increased as a result of these two things being addressed. As such, the final book of the series is now next on my reading list. I’d also give the trilogy a higher recommendation than I did based on ‘Aurora Rising’ alone. Though that comes with the caveat that one probably has to read the entire trilogy for maximum enjoyment.

But there’s an elephant in the room that we need to address. One I hinted at in my previous post where I raised the issue of how many familiar sci-fi tropes the novel drew on.

Caution: Spoilers past this point.

Acknowledging the past, but a little too familiar in parts

I’m going to hypothesise the authors of the Aurora series are fans of 90’s sci-fi.

There’s numerous references to Star Trek. For example, we have ‘Picard6’ (a location), ‘The Janeway’ (a ship), and a race called the Rikerites. There’s also a scene (part of a training simulation) where the dialogue sounds a lot like Morpheus’ “do you think that’s air you’re breathing” speech from ‘The Matrix’.

The plot also involves a god-like race called the Eshvaren seeding the galaxy with beings created in their likeness. While this isn’t a unique idea, it’s another that appears in Star Trek:TNG S6E20 ‘The Chase’.

The beings from Trek created life in order to leave behind a legacy, while the Eshvaren seeded life across the galaxy in order to give rise to telepathic beings who would become the trigger for their super weapon and win the ancient war against the Ra’haam. In this regard, the Eshvaren are perhaps more like the Vorlons from Babylon 5. The Vorlon’s manipulated the DNA of younger races to create telepaths for their future war with ‘The Shadows’ . They also altered the DNA of younger races to ensure those aces would see a god-like vision if they ever saw a Vorlon outside its encounter suit.

Another similarity: The Warbreed Cabal in the ‘Aurora’ series are a group of Syldrathi warriors who refused to accept the peace treaty with the Terrans and who start a civil war. In this regard they’re a lot like the warrior caste in Babylon 5, who similarly initiate a civil war, in part because of their dissatisfaction with the decision to make peace with Earth. (Another example: Ronan in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, yet another warrior who refuses to accept a peace treaty.)

There’s probably more, but these are the most obvious ones that stand at at the moment.

Signs and Portents

Based on these similarities, I predict:

The Eshvaren turn out to be a bit like the Vorlons. Ancient race who portray themselves as the light/good but who end up being problematic in their own way.

Aurora finds some sort of resolution that doesn’t involve fulfilling the Eshvaren’s desire for her to wipe up the Ra’haam. In Babylon 5, the protagonists force a confrontation between the Vorlons and Shadows then tell them to ‘get the hell’ out of the galaxy and leave it to the younger races.

Time travel shenanigans. This has already been teased in ‘Aurora Burning’. The question is, will we see something akin to Babylon 5 ? (1) In B5 the enemy is defeated in the past by sending a weapon and hero to the past. Most likely this will take the form of at least one of our heroes time travelling and influencing the formation of the Aurora Legion. (2) ‘Babylon 5’ has “a Minbari not of Minbar” as a result of Sinclair travelling to the past and adopting the identity of Valenn. would not be surprised to see something similar involving a human and Syldrathi.

Anyway, I’ll leave the predictions here so I can actually get on with reading the final book. Let’s see in a few weeks how I actually fared with the predictions.
