A team of archaeologists working on excavations in the ancient city of Tripolis, in western Turkey, has discovered a Roman sewer system dating back 2,000 years that ran along the city’s main avenue. Measuring 1.60 metres high and 70 cm wide, the sewage system surprises with its dimensions (a person can easily walk through it) and its excellent state of preservation, one of the best in the world. Founded in the 3rd century BC, Tripolis preserves the ruins of its walls, a theatre, the thermal baths, a necropolis and several colonnaded streets.
