In the modern world of a cloak - what is it?
It is not possible to establish the age of the first sewer systems on the ground. The oldest cloacas of Ancient Rome - Cloaca Maxima, the first mention of which, either belong to IIV, or to the IV century BC, lead researchers to Etruscan masters, to an even earlier civilization. That is, man is not an animal, and, along with the construction of houses, he immediately began to erect detached sites.
Cloaca as part of the sewage system
With such an antiquity of the first constructions, their Latin names are not surprising. Cloaca - what is this? If you translate the verb "cloacare" into Russian, it turns out - to dirty, to dirty. Hence cloaca is a channel with something dirty, with sewage or the place of their accumulation, or a structure for getting rid of them. There are old European cities where these stone moats are located right along the streets, but, as a rule, sewage outlets were underground, and sometimes represented whole cities. The depths of Paris, described in many novels, are even shrouded in robbery romance. Here justice was administered (albeit very peculiar), the persecuted refuge was found. So cloak - what is it? In modern Rome - a very popular tourist destination.
Cloaca as a metaphor
A special role belongs to this word in literature. From time immemorial cloaca was called all unscrupulous, dirty, unworthy, disgusting as purely in the physical sense (neglected place), and in the spiritual sense - unworthy thoughts and desires. Everything from which in a literal and figurative sense more than smells bad, is printed with this name. And near this you need to put fences.

The term in the modern world
Recently, the word "cloak" began to occur very often. It happened because from the sphere of narrow specialization it came to the universal space of computer games and modern prose ("Cloaca" by Edgar Doctorow). And if it does not occur in the name of the game, it takes up a considerable part of it. An example can serve as a cloak of Dalaren from the incredibly popular game "World of Warcraft". Cloaca - what's that in WOW? This is a whole city with its heroes and quests. The political arena has also contributed to the promotion of this term.
