These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓡𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

Possibly - though they do all look alike! IIRC, this one is on Via dei Cappellari, just south of the junction with Via Pellegrino. I was walking away from Campo de Flori when I took this.

I didn’t know they still used SPQR in Rome.

I’m not sure it ever really went away, but Mussolini brought it back into regular use.
