THE AQUEDUCTS (original) (raw)

The one that can be seen in the centre of the picture is the Aqua Claudia. This public work is one of the most remarkable of Rome. Terminated under Emperor Claudius, it fed the slopes of the Palatine (top left) and had its source in the moutains 68km far from Rome. In the centre of the picture, it goes through the C�lian Hill and, in the middle, along the wide architectural complex formed by the Temple of Claudius.

The Aqua Claudia had as well to wind amid the mansions of the C�lian Hill.
