Book Description
Excerpt from Fountains of Papal Rome Rome has been called the most religious city in the world because of the number of her churches. With equal propriety, and perhaps with greater justice, she might be called the cleanest city in the world because of the number Of her fountains. Pagan emperors and Christian popes alike have found both profit and pleasure in adding another fountain or in making or repairing one more aqueduct to give a still greater supply of water to the Roman populace. NO other people, with the possible exception Of the Spanish Moors, have so appreciated the value and the beauty Of abundant water.
