image: Drawing of the Barbegal mill complex as it may have appeared in the 2nd century AD. Two rows of eight mill houses on each side contained the waterwheels and machinery (16 in total). One corner is shown opened to illustrate the position of the waterwheels and gutters.

Sürmelihindi at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, and colleagues was titled, "The second century CE Roman watermills of Barbegal: Unraveling the enigma of one of the oldest industrial complexes." view more
