Nobody is sure of who first invented the aqueducts, but as the first one began its construction in 312 B.C., it might have been Appius Claudius Caecus, because he was the one who ruled Rome at that time, but it could have been also a pauper that gave the idea or inspiration to start building aqueducts.
