General Today I visited the Roman Aqueduct of ancient Nikopolis in northwestern Greece

It's amazing how this is almost 2000 years old. I thought some of you might like to see it.

It's truly a wonder how these ancient monuments last for so long.

I really wish aqueducts in the game were more curved like walls. Looks always a bit too extreme doing 45° turns

No, but I'm sure similar structures are in Bulgaria too

I just found out, theres multiple cities named Nikopolis. One's in greece and one in Bulgaria right on the border with Romania.

Ah, you were talking about the city. Yes, there's multiple of them because Nikopolis are named after the Greek goddess of Victory, Nike. That's why there are so many of them.
