Recent archaeological excavations have pushed back the date of the general introduction of the watermill from the late Antiquity / early medieval period to the first century AD. At that time watermills can already be found even in fairly remote regions of the empire such as Switzerland.
There is a good overview of watermilling in Spanish: Los molinos hidráulicos en la Antigüedad (2006/2007).
