No ancient city could do without water and walls; neither could Rome.

Of Rome's first wall, the Wall of Romulus, probably nothing remains. Of the second wall, the Servian Wall, much remains but its chronology is in dispute; was it built, razed and rebuilt? For over 400 years Rome relied on the Tiber and springs, before they built their first aqueduct.
