This work comprehensively and in detail addresses all aspects of the planning, routing, and use of Roman aqueducts. Illustrated with numerous examples from across the Roman Empire, this illustrated book reveals the high level of Roman engineering. Discover everything you need to know about planning and surveying, water extraction, aqueduct bridges and tunnels, as well as water usage. The construction techniques of Roman aqueducts showcase methods that still astonish both laypeople and experts today. The dimensions visible in the construction of aqueduct bridges seem to defy the limits of gravity. The magnificent bridges, pressure pipelines, and intricately structured tunnels not only demonstrate extraordinary technical skill but also serve as impressive examples of the demonstration of Roman power.
