Hadrian's AqueductThis aqueduct was completed in 140 AD on the orders of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and was still supplying Athens with water in the 1920's at which time it became inadequate and was replaced by the Marathon Dam. The Silver Mines & Mine Workshops of Lavrio Ancient Athens relied on the Silver Mines of Lavrio to provide the funding for many of its great projects. The mine workshops were where the rough lead-silver ore was refined and converted into silver.
