Pompeii

I have just finished the book - Pompeii by Robert Harris.

This is good quick read - two overriding impressions

1. Good grief these Romans were decadent
2. They knew a thing or two about engineering.

The book, in the closing pages, claims that the Aqua Augusta continued to flow for centuries after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. I find it hard to believe that it could survive earth-quakes and the lava flows.

I searched for some collaborating evidence but haven't found any. There is technical information here
