Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of the different drainage and wastewater management structures that have been identified in Mirobriga, a Roman town that originated from an indigenous oppidum and is located upon a set of small hills around the original settlement.
Mirobriga never had a public underground sewage network. Instead, the town relied exclusively on topography and street morphology to evacuate the surplus water of rainy weather as well as dealing with the wastewater produced in everyday life.
This characteristic has, however, made it an interesting case-study as it offered a varied set of drainage and waterproofing solutions.
