The overwhelming amount of Roman cities/territories never had sewers either. The big cities did, the important trading hubs/ports did, but the vast majority didn't. Like most of the world, Europeans had to deal with waste just like everyone else whether they were part of the Roman empire or not. It's just that our important big cities where the first to have proper sewer systems.
