EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the designs of three ancient Roman aquaducts: Aqua Claudia, Campagna of Rome, and Metz on the Moselle. Dating back to circa 1650, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the engineering marvels of the Roman civilization. Aqua Claudia, the first aquaduct in the image, was built between 38 and 52 AD to supply water to Rome from the sources in the Alban Hills. The aquaduct's impressive design allowed water to flow over long distances, providing essential water to the growing Roman community. The second aquaduct, Campagna of Rome, is shown in the middle of the print. This aquaduct, also known as the Aqua Marcia, was built in 144 BC to bring water from the Alban Hills to Rome. Its intricate design and impressive engineering were crucial to the survival and prosperity of the Roman Empire. The third aquaduct, Metz on the Moselle, is located outside of Rome, in present-day France. Built in the late 1st century AD, this aquaduct was part of a larger system that supplied water to the Roman military camp and settlement at Metz. The design of the aquaduct showcases the Roman engineering expertise and their ability to transport water over long distances. This print serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Roman civilization. The aquaducts were not only essential for providing water to the growing communities but also symbolized the power and might of the Roman Empire. The intricate designs and impressive engineering continue to inspire awe and admiration, making this print a valuable historical artifact.
