Abstract: Landscape degradation and the development of environmental movements in the history of Europe. Mining. The hydraulic pump was a mechanical device invented by Ctesibius of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC, which had one of its practical applications in the systematic exploitation of Roman mines. The conceptual complexity of its form and use demonstrates the progress of human beings in complex reasoning and, with it, their better disposition to exploit the environment.
