I was really hoping this article was going to discuss how Rome was somehow more open or prone to invasions due to their water networks. Instead, I was treated to the fairly unexcit…

Fair enough, but implied anchors are not part of the regex standard

Yes, that's exactly my point. By occuring zero times, it means the preceeding token is irrelevant, and will match any arbitrary string.
