Book excerpt: Ancient expertise on water and warfare. Frontinus, Sextus Iulius, ca. AD 35-103, was a capable Roman civil officer and military commander. Praetor of the city in 70 and consul in 73 or 74, 98 and 100, he was, about the year 76, sent to Britain as governor. He quelled the Silures of Wales, and began to build a road through their territory; his place was taken by Agricola in 78. In 97 he was given the highly esteemed office of Manager of Aqueducts at Rome. He is known to have been an augur, being succeeded by his friend Pliny the Younger. The two sides of Frontinus' public career are reflected in his two surviving works. Stratagems, written after 84, gives examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, for the instruction of Roman officers, in three books; the fourth book is concerned largely with military discipline. The Aqueducts of Rome, written in 97-98, gives some historical details and a description of the aqueducts for the water supply of the city, with laws relating to them. Frontinus aimed at being useful and writes in a rather popular style which is both simple and clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aqueducts of Ancient Rome The next scholar to devote attention to the aqueducts, though publishing even less than Fabretti, was Diego Revillas,3 a Spaniard, Abbot of the Order of S. Jerome, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Rome from 1725 onwards, and a Fellow of the Royal Society4 of London. Some of his papers are in the Vatican Library.5 Others were obtained by Costantino Corvisieri from the Keeper of archives at S. Alessio, where Revillas lived in Rome. Corvisieri sold part of these to the Berlin library in 1 8 7 3, keeping the rest himself; and this latter part was bought by the author at the sale of his library, and 13 now in the library of the British School at Rome. The matter contained 1n both portions is often identical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The Aqueducts of Rome is both a laborious detailing of the water systems that fed the great city of Rome, and a window into the life of Romans themselves. Dealing with brazen water theft, the general Frontinus is appointed to restore order and take into account the entire sanctioned and unsanctioned system. Text first tells the story of the water systems, then telling the story of all the adulteration to those systems. Through this Frontinus shows us a glimpse into humanity. This is The Aqueducts of Rome.

Download or read book Roman Aqueducts Water Supply written by A. Trevor Hodge and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 1992 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How did Roman waterworks work? How were the aqueducts planned and built? What happened to the water before it got into the aqueduct conduit and after it left it, in catchment, urban distribution and drainage? What were the hydraulics and engineering involved? And what was hydraulic technology like throughout the provinces, far from the often-studied system of metropolitan Rome? In a comprehensive study that ranges through the Roman aqueducts of France, Germany, Spain, North Africa, Turkey and Israel, Professor Hodge introduces us to these often neglected aspects of what the Romans themselves would certainly boast of as one of the greatest glories of their civilisation. Although often technically oriented, the book is aimed at non-engineers (there is a chapter on basic hydraulics, and an appendix on the use of formulae), and historians of society and the economy are not overlooked. Above all, the book looks on aqueducts as functioning machines rather than as static archaeological monuments." -- Provided by publisher
