Rome's great cloaca (from cloacare, to cleanse) was a huge drainage system that kept the city from filling up with sewage and alluvial mud. In among the pipework is a small shrine to the goddess of love and beauty. [Cloacina was the patron goddess of the Cloaca Maxima and the city’s sewer system and workers. She is thought to have been initially adopted from Etruscan culture. Over time, Cloacina became identified with Venus, the goddess of love . See Sewer History Poster.]
