Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Roman aqueducts, the monumental feats of engineering that supplied water to ancient Rome. The author draws on the works of Pliny the Elder and Sextus Julius Frontinus, curators of Rome's water system in the 1st century, to provide a detailed account of these structures. The book delves into the factors that led to the development of aqueducts, the challenges faced by their builders, and the impact of these structures on Roman society. The author sheds light on the technological ingenuity of the Romans, their understanding of hydraulics, and their ability to harness natural resources for the benefit of their civilization. Through its examination of these ancient marvels, the book offers insights into the enduring legacy of Roman engineering and its influence on modern water management practices.
