All of the pipes thta were used to carry the water were made out of Pb (plobium, Lead) Which intern made mostr of the citizens loppier then fruit loops, It is also believed to have been the leading cause for Caligula's weirdness, I believe from 37-41AD. Because he was so weird and loopey, he was assassinated.
