    But on the other side of the Contracting table, a lot of water pipes were privately owned in Rome. And stealing water was very popular, if a pipe happened to pass by your house, it saved you a trip to a public source.

      Or an expensive connection - farmers were always illegally tapping the pipes for agricultural purposes XD
