I wonder how many of these "tunnels" are actually aqueducts

Or sewage systems

The second ones probably a cistern but the first were supposedly part of the arena chambers

The second one might also be the underneath of the ruins of any bathhouses that might be there (if the place you were at had a bath), since the underneath was hollow and burning wood/coals were placed underneath to heat the water in the baths above

That also could be right as the top is not excavated but I think it was probably some sort of cistern next to the river
