Good article.

With water plentiful and running constantly, wealthy Romans could also pipe it to flow over the roofs of their houses to keep them cool.

Getting out of the city to villas in the nearby hills is a tradition started by the ancients (Cf- Nero,s  giant barge on lake Nemi SE of Rome along the Appian Way) and continued to this day (Cf- the Pope s summer residence at Castel Gandolfo near lake Nemi in the Alban Hills.)
