Roman aqueduct
Moria's Roman aqueduct dates back to the 2nd century, and the 17 arches that remain demonstrate how magnificent the structure was in its heyday. Constructed from gray Lesviot marble, the aqueduct stretched 26 km (16 miles) from Olympos mountain at Tsingos to Mytilini. It was in Lesvos that Julius Caesar first made his mark. Sent to Bythinia to drum up a fleet, he hung around so long at King Nicodemus's court that he was rumored to be having an affair with the king, but he finally distinguished himself by saving a soldier's life.
