[FR] Capitale des Osismes, Vorgium, actuelle Carhaix, était dotée d'un aqueduc en majeure partie souterrain permettant d'acheminer en ville un volume d'eau d'environ 6000 m3 par jour. Au 2è s. après J-C, un premier aqueduc alimente la ville. Son débit étant trop faible, une seconde conduite souterraine longue de 27 km est construite au 3è s. après J-C.
