The first cloaca was built around 616 B.C. with the purpose of reclaiming the huge bogs that occupied the large valleys at the foot of the hills and it had Gabina stone banks and it was in the open air.

 Cloaca Massima
The largest of the still-functioning Roman drains, the Cloaca Maxima was the source of a water-drainage channel that ran from the Roman Forum towards the "vicus Tuscus" The drain emptied into the Tiber at Ponte Emilio, along a tortuous route through the Velabro, the Foro Boario, and a wide curve.
Generally, tradition links the initial stretches of the Cloaca to the drainage system that was established by the Tarquini family in the valley of the Foro Romano.
An in-depth, organic study of the Cloaca Massima has not yet been undertaken: the problems occurring along the drain have persuaded the archaeologists only to examine the first section, today as in the last century.
