The Significance of Aqueducts and Its Parallels in Modern Engineering
The grandeur of Rome was not solely encapsulated by its magnificent structures, but rather, in the life they enabled. One such structure was the aqueduct, a feat of engineering that quietly sustained the empire, carrying water across cities without fanfare. Without these aqueducts, Rome would have faltered. Today, a similar role can be seen in the realm of fintech engineering, particularly at Mercury, a leading fintech enterprise.
