Is this the ancient predecessor of "But Hitler built the Autobahn"?

Sort of. I'd take the Romans over Hitler any day, though, and the warlords they replaced were presumably just as shitty, but without the roads.

Ergo, I meme for them.

They gave us the aquaduct

It’s the road for water… for war.

And they didn't understand how it worked either. They just took what the Greeks did and copied it, but bigger.
