Illustrated with full colour throughout, \u003cstrong\u003eMark Stoyle\u003c\/strong\u003e shows how and why the passages and aqueducts were originally built, considers the technologies that were used in their construction, explains how they were funded and maintained, and reveals the various ways in which the water fountains were used and abused by the townsfolk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Exeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55021892862296,"sku":"9780859898775","price":72.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780859898775_20d0c2ff-72c2-451e-84de-7f7d7ba36ed2.jpg?v=1778666438","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/water-in-the-city","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
