We wanted to answer questions such as: What kind of communication systems existed in a huge empire? What role did religion play in hydraulic engineering? To what extent did public works make citizens’ lives easier? How was water supplied to a city? What do we know about the Segovia Aqueduct? How can we identify a bridge as being Roman? How did the Spanish Renaissance interpret Roman Engineering? The fact that the course took place at the same time as the Artifex Exhibition, in the
Casa de la Moneda de Segovia (Segovia Mint), enabled the attendees to gain great insight into all the aspects of engineering and how they were applied to the Empire’s cities and territories.
