I could have sworn that I read or saw a documentary showing that there
is an original Roman fountain that is still flowing without

couldn't find a reference with a quick search. I did find that some
have been moved and or restored. I do think that their high tech lead
pipes, dinnerware and lead containing food and drink may have caused
their slow decline.

It wasn't lead that did 'em in. It was iron.

In the hands of the Vandals.
