Yes, the Romans had an exceptionally good sewer system. The main sewer was the cloaca maxima, dating from the time of the kings. It was huge and drained the forum. It could also accept waste from tributary sewers and the baths. Parts of it can still be seen in Rome today.

∙ 13y agoYes, they had sewers since the very early days. The major sewer, the Cloaca Maxima, is believed to have been built under the Etruscan kings in order to drain the swamps and marshes between the hills. It emptied into the Tiber.

∙ 9y agoAccording to a fashionable theory, the Etruscan built the cloaca maxima, which originally was an open drainage channel and over the centuries developed into a sewer. However, this theory has been challenged. It evidence base is flimsy to say the least and it is based on unproven assumptions. This theory also has the Etruscans as conquering and ruling Rome in that period (7th and 6th century B.C.). In reality there is no real proof for this. The Romans tradition, it does not mention any Etruscan conquest of the city or that the Etruscans built the first Cloaca Maxima.
