Slave,
If you get the History Channel, do try to catch the show Ancient Discoveries: Machines II.
The episode was very fascinating and had many archeological finds of immense water wheels used for Roman machinery, aquifers, bath houses, and Roman water powered factories. Even a one man powered water wheel under ground in an old Roman silver mine; where the man would walk inside the wheel (like a hamster) turning the wheel and moving great volumes of materials.
Video clips below including Roman ships and flame throwers too...
