The History of Sanitary Sewers

http://www.sewerhistory.org/


A memento of my visit to Rome with the RV Effluent Study Group as reported by Captain Cloggy: http://clogiron.stumbleupon.com/

From Wikipedia:

“Cloacina the goddess who presided over the Cloaca Maxima, the system of sewers in Rome was worshipped as an aspect of Venus at the small Shrine of Venus Cloacina, situated before the Basilica Aemilia on the Roman Forum and directly above the Cloaca Maxima.

Some Roman coins had images of Cloacina or her shrine on them.

Cloacina was worshipped with rhymed prayer.”

Free copy of the RV Herald Tribune to any one who can compose a modern rhymed prayer to Cloacina.
