2,000-year-old dam built by Romans prevents tragedy from flooding in Spain

An ancient Roman dam in Spain has prevented catastrophic destruction and numerous other casualties during floods.

The two thousand-year-old dam in almonacid de la Cuba effectively controlled the flow of water, avoiding injuries and loss of life.

Spain faced its worst floods in fifty years, with over 200 victims and hundreds missing.

Spanish police have arrested about 100 robbers who targeted abandoned homes and businesses.
