Marcus Vitruvius Pollio Quotes

Marshes That Are Stagnant And Have No Outlets Either By Rivers Or Ditches, Like The Pomptine Marshes, Merely Putrefy As They Stand, Emitting Heavy, Unhealthy Vapors.

Year After Year There Was Sickness, Until Finally The Suffering Inhabitants Came With A Public Petition To Marcus Hostilius And Got Him To Agree To Seek And Find Them A Proper Place To Which To Remove Their City.
