Evans http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=17141, The University of Michigan Press C HAPTER THREE Dissertation I on the Waters and Aqueducts of Ancient Rome o the distinguished Giovanni Lucio of Trau, Raffaello Fabretti, son of T Gaspare, of Urbino, sends greetings. 1. introduction Thanks to your interest in my behalf, the things I wrote to you earlier about the aqueducts I observed around the Anio River do not at all dis- please me. You have in›uenced my diligence by your expressions of praise, both in your own name and in the names of your most learned friends (whom you also have in very large number). As a result, I feel that I am much more eager to pursue the investigation set forth on this subject; I would already have completed it had the abundance of waters from heaven not shown itself opposed to my own watery task. But you should not think that I have been completely idle: indeed, although I was not able to approach for a second time the sources of the Marcia and Claudia, at some distance from me, and not able therefore to follow up my ideas by surer rea- soning, not uselessly, perhaps, will I show you that I have been engaged in the more immediate neighborhood of that aqueduct introduced by Pope Sixtus and called the Acqua Felice from his own name before his ponti‹- 19 Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century: Raffaele Fabretti's De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae Harry B. -

J. Riley Snyder Exploiting the Landscape: Quantifying the Material Resources Used in the Construction of the Long-distance Water Supply of Con stantinople For the new eastern capital city of Constantinople to meet ancient world. As will be discussed below, this comparison the needs of its growing populace in the 4th century, the confi rms that, in order to sustain its population, the Water urban infrastructure was bolstered by large projects, many Supply of Constantinople stretched much further into the rivalling the scale and intricacy of those undertaken during hinterland than that of any other water supply in the ancient the height of Imperial Rome. A prime example of this is the world. While a measure of distance tells of the successes of extensive channel network of the 4th and 5th centuries, built a highly organised administration and workforce as well as in the hinterland of Constantinople to supply fresh water to the city’s great investment in distant natural water sources, so the city from springs hundreds of kilometres away (fi g. 1). much more can be derived from the structure itself. Important questions pertaining to construction organisation derive from the fact that, within these two centuries, Con- stantinople was provided the necessary infrastructure of a History booming metropolis, including the completion of the longest water supply system of the Roman World. Constantinople was poorly situated for natural fresh water What were the material requirements for constructing sources such as wells, springs and streams creating a need for such a long water supply system? How do these require- water from the hinterland 2 . -

Volcanic Eruptions Damned the River with Deposits of Ash, Called Tuffs6
volcanic eruptions damned the river with deposits of ash, called tuffs6, and changed its course. Both of the volcanic fields, the Sabatini to the northwest and the Alban hills to the southeast, played important roles in creating the terrain; plateaus pinching the Tiber floodplain and creating high ground for Rome (Heiken, Funiciello & De Rita, 2005:11). Despite the advantageous location, Rome is still susceptible to flooding due to the large drainage area of the Tiber. The climate from the end of the republic, throughout the years of the Empire, up to perhaps between 800 and 1200 A.D., was warmer and drier than later years. During the wet period between 1310 and 1320 A.D., and the so-called "little ice age" of 1500 to 1800 A.D., Rome was more susceptible to flooding (Lamb, 1995). This is perhaps a good thing, as repeated natural destruction of the city may have had a large influence on the superstitious Roman mind, providing "evidence" for the displeasure of the gods, and perhaps the resulting abandonment of the site. The Alban hills are approximately 50 kilometres in diameter with an elevation of nearly 1000 metres above sea level, and span the coastal plain between the Apennines and the sea. The summit is broad and dominated by a caldera, which has mostly been covered with material from later volcanoes. The slopes were once covered with oak, hazel and maple trees. Archaeolog- ical evidence from around the edges of the Nemi and Albano lakes indicate that the area has been occupied since the Bronze Age.
