Abstract:
Abstract. The area south-east of Rome is characterised by the presence of several roman aqueducts which brought water to the eternal city from the Apennine and Alban Hills springs. In the last 40 years, several pieces of evidence about these aqueducts were acquired during the realisation of archaeological test trenches before building activities. In 2019, a small branch of a subterranean aqueduct unknown to the Latin sources was unearthed in Via dei Sette Metri. Here we show that this aqueduct is a lateral branch of the Anio Novus, a major imperial aqueduct built between 38 and 52 CE. To achieve this result, we employed detailed photogrammetric restitution of the new aqueduct and an integrated geophysical survey focused in the area where the Anio Novus was supposed to pass. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) methods were used to reconstruct aqueduct paths and their relative heights. Different light conditions were tested during the picture acquisition step to determine the best practice in the photogrammetric restitution. The results obtained in this study confirmed the great effectiveness of the integration between geophysical investigation methods and the modern archaeology approach in detecting buried ancient structures.

Abstract:
SOME NEW CIPPI FROM THE AQUEDUCTS OF THE ANIO VALLEY. A DISCUSSION OF THE USE OF WATERCHANNEL-RELATED CIPPIIn this paper some newly discovered cippi of the Anio Vetus and the Marcia relating to the Augustan restoration of 11–4 BC, which were found in the section between the sources and S. Maria di Cavamonte (Via Prenestina), are described. Other cippi are re-evaluated and for each of the aqueducts an up-to-date catalogue is given. It is important to note that the distance between the cippi was not always based on the iugero of 240 pedes (that is 70 metres), there being many exceptions, in some cases the distance being greater (particularly in more winding hilly sections), in others less. Also the shafts for cleaning and repairs are not regularly spaced at 70 metre intervals, often being 35–37 metres apart. The cippi, placed along the edge of the ground reserved for the aqueduct channel, not always corresponding to the shafts, are given a progressive number starting from Rome. This served to identify (with the help of plans (formae)) the section of the aqueduct requiring maintenance.Given that the distance between the cippi varies, it is not possible to calculate the length of the aqueducts (or of particular sections) by multiplying the serial number by 240 pedes. Therefore we should reject the corrections made to Frontinus' figure for the length of the Anio Vetus of 43 miles, as these are based on this method (the figures suggested being 53, 55 and 63). In addition the aqueduct starts at the 29th mile of the Via Valeria, that is 9–10 miles upstream of Tivoli, not 20 (a misreading of the text of Frontinus). There follows a discussion of the length of the other three aqueducts of the Anio valley (Claudia, Anio novus, Marcia).In Appendix l a small quarry pit from which the tufo cippi of the Anio vetus may have been extracted is described. In Appendix 2 a map of 1866 is presented, showing the location of some sections of the Marcia and the Claudia along the Via Valeria.

Abstract:
The aqueducts built by the ancient Romans are among the most impressive evidence of their engineering skills. The water inside the aqueducts was transported for kilometers, exploiting only the slight but constant differences in altitude throughout the route. To keep the differences in height constant, the aqueducts could proceed underground or aboveground on well-known arched structures that supported lead, ceramic or stone pipes. In order to reconstruct the characteristics of these structures, it is necessary to carry out an accurate survey of the orthometric heights, and therefore the most suitable technology is geometric levelling. In this case, however, it is not applicable, and therefore here we propose an alternative methodology. The final goal of this work was to estimate the flow of some sectors of these aqueducts preserved in the area south of the city of Rome. This has two main purposes: The first is to reconstruct the flow rate of these aqueducts for historical studies; the second is to check how much the orthometric heights have changed over the centuries, in order to reconstruct the movements from a geophysical and geodynamic point of view. The latter analysis will be developed in a following phase of this research. For this purpose, a high-precision geomatic survey was carried out in the area under study, partly retracing a survey already carried out in 1917 whose purpose and methodologies are not known. The area has been affected by a gradual subsidence over centuries, including since 1917. The observed sections of the aqueducts showed average inclinations, slightly lower than the 2 per thousand that is reported in the literature for similar aqueducts. The measurements carried out allowed the flow rate of the two specific aqueducts to be estimated more accurately, both as they were originally and in the presence of deposits that have accumulated during the years of use of the aqueducts. The reconstruction of the initial geometry will later be used as a reference to estimate how much the geodynamic deformations of the area have deformed the aqueducts themselves.

Abstract:
Our knowledge of the city of Rome after the fall of the Western Empire is largely determined by its position as the seat of the Papacy. Historical studies are based principally upon the Liber Pontificalis and the writings of the popes themselves, while architectural and archaeological research has concentrated on the city's numerous churches, many of which for the period A.D. 500–850 are remarkably well-preserved. The best known modern syntheses in English from each field are probably Peter Llewellyn's Rome in the Dark Ages (1971) and Richard Krautheimer's Rome. Profile of a City (1980). If we look beyond the purely ecclesiastical, however, we find very little Archaeological studies of Rome's urban infrastructure—walls, roads, bridges, aqueducts, sewers, housing—tend to stop, at the latest, with the Gothic Wars of the mid-sixth century. The lack of research, and therefore lack of data, have in turn been interpreted as a sign that early medieval Rome was a city bereft of an artificial watersupply, and of the resources necessary to maintain such structures as the Aurelianic Walls. Studies of medieval urbanism have been affected by this dearth of evidence proposing, for example, settlement models with the population of the city crowded into the Tiber bend in order to obtain water.

Abstract:
A good supply of water was rightly regarded as one of the essential commodities for the maintenance of urban life in the ancient world. One of the major problems with which city authorities had to deal was the maintenance of adequate supplies of water to satisfy the domestic, public, recreational, and industrial demands of the inhabitants. The Romans were particularly renowned for their hydraulic technology in general and the construction of aqueducts in particular, often bringing water from great distances. The geographer Strabo praised the engineering skills of the Romans, maintaining that veritable rivers of water flowed by means of aqueducts through the city of Rome. Close on a century later the first curator of Rome's water supply and one-time military governor of Britain, Sextus Julius Frontinus stated the same, if a little more pointedly, when he compared the achievements of the Romans in the field of water supply with the ‘idle pyramids of the Egyptians or the glorious but useless monuments of the Greeks’.

SummaryAlongside their many other duties in Republican Rome, the censors were responsible for cura urbis, which included the building, repair and maintenance of public facilities. The censors were the founders of many of the Roman aqueducts, temples, and roads. They had the right to enter contracts for public works on behalf of the State with private companies, and they also held the ius publicandi, the right to expropriate land from private owners for these projects.

Abstract:
Du fait de conditions naturelles très différentes de celles du bassin méditerranéen, la place de l’eau dans la société romaine de la péninsule armoricaine, des aménagements et des pratiques associées a souvent été éludée. Après la définition du sujet, des contextes géographique et historique de l’aire d’étude ainsi qu’un résumé des acquis des travaux antérieurs, c’est sur la base d’un corpus analytique, présenté en annexe, qu’est développée une synthèse de l’état des connaissances sur les découvertes archéologiques liées à l’eau. L’inégalité des sources a conduit à mettre en avant quelques sites phares sur lesquels s’appuie plus fortement la réflexion. Les informations sont traitées à travers divers prismes d’analyse empruntés à l’archéologie, l’histoire ou la géographie. Les données recueillies, confrontées à celles accumulées pour le reste de l’Occident romain, permettent d’établir des parallèles et de dégager des particularités régionales. Outre des conclusions et axes de recherche techniques, la problématique de l’eau offre une approche de pratiques socioculturelles renseignant sur certains aspects de la société romaine d’Armorique et de son intégration au sein du monde romain
For various topographical reasons (very different from those pertaining to the Mediterranean basin), the rôle of water in Roman society in the Breton peninsula has often been overlooked. Beginning with topic definition in its geographical and historical contexts, I survey in this thesis “received” versions of Roman water management from the perspective of recent advances in archaeological discovery and research. The variety of topics this approach unfolds includes what might be described as “emblematic” field sites – those important sites which show general as well as regional particularities according to the data distribution. Aware of issues which gesture towards future areas of study, this thesis offers a contribution to an understanding of socio-cultural work practice in Roman Breton and its integration within the wider Roman world

Abstract:
This thesis emerged from a series of journeys / ‘percorsi’, conducted between 2007 and 2009 along the course of the aqueducts and railway lines in the south-east of Rome. During this time, my focus shifted from figure to background, from the archaeological fragments to the territorial and urban contexts encountered along their passage. This zone offers a unique cross sectional experience of the city, spanning for approximately seven kilometers - from the Aqueduct Park (Parco degli Acquedotti) at the outer edges of the city to the Aurelian Walls at Porta Maggiore – exposing a variety of conditions ranging from the openness of Roman Campagna to the dense agglomeration of Rome’s urban periphery. This is a place of contrasts, of industrial and archaeological, in a state of abandonment and in a constant state of flux. It is as difficult to grasp conceptually as it is to traverse physically, lacking territorial continuity, legibility and ease of access. It is physically fragmented and separated from the rest of the city by infrastructural arteries and property boundaries. This thesis proposes reversing the marginal aspect of this area by re-establishing its relationship with its urban context. It suggests a reading of this landscape as ‘interstitial tissue’ a connective element rather than an inert zone of separation. Using the biological connotation of the interstitial (“the fine connective tissue lying between the cells of other tissue”) - the thesis focuses on the relational potential of this in-between zone, its ability to connect rather than separate places and neighbourhoods along it. It proposes identifying spatial continuities as well as establishing temporal connections between the past, present, and future of this area. The thesis further proposes a design intervention along a site situated between the aqueducts and via del Mandrione, a historical road running in parallel to the railway lines. Although this site is currently enclosed and separated from its context by property boundaries, the thesis proposes reconfiguring this site as a threshold, a point of intensity between the city and its margins.

Abstract:
In 200 BC, the population of the city of Rome was 200,000. By AD 50, this figure had increased fivefold, an unprecedented burst of urban expansion. Moses Finley’s much-contested thesis that Rome was parasitic implies that the city’s growth could only have brought discomfort to the peoples of the Mediterranean. Drawing on the theory of cities developed by urban economists, I contest Finley’s thesis. Rome’s growth fostered specialization of labor and the sharing of information, enabling the city to export the Pax Romana, government, law, literature, and other beneficial services. The institutional foundations that undergirded the growth of Rome included norms and laws favoring brisk commerce in land. A provision of the Twelve Tables of c.450 BC, for example, authorized complete freedom of testation, an extraordinary principle in a near-archaic society. Also conducive was Rome’s adroit mix of a private sector that provided goods such as the apartment blocks that housed most of the population, and a public sector that provided essential public goods such as aqueducts. These institutional choices, along with Rome’s aversion to growth-limiting populist policies, were necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for its emergence as the largest city the world had seen.

Abstract:
Analytical models are developed for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure wave propagation speed based on viscoelastic properties and geometry of the subarachnoid space (SAS). The models were compared to experimental tests on various compliant coaxial tube phantom models of the spinal SAS having different thicknesses and mechanical properties, with the ultimate goal of developing a noninvasive in vivo technique for determining the elastic properties of the spinal aqueduct. The in vitro models were constructed based on a healthy persons’ spinal geometry and properties, and the generation of pressure waves in it mimics the in vivo mechanism. Results suggest that pressure wave propagation is a weighted combination of two types of wave motion inherent to the coupled fluid-structure system. Additionally, theoretical and experimental studies indicate that the spinal cord (SC) mechanical properties do not play a significant role in wave speed propagation through the system, whereas mechanical properties of the encasing structures of the spinal aqueduct (SA) do influence wave speed.

Abstract:
<p>As a world city, New York is famous for many reasons; as a large city located primarily on islands at a complex of rivers, bays, and tidal straits, it has long depended on structural engineering for viability. Prominent structures include underwater vehicular and rail tunnels, bridges of every structural type, and aqueducts. Ten different buildings have held the world record for height, two arch bridges have held the world record for span, and four different suspension bridges have held the world record for their main span. With a multitude of successful businesses and the physical constraints of the geography, the motivation for technical innovation were present, and engineers were ready for the challenges.</p><p>These structures have generally not been built because they would break records, but rather because they served a purpose. For example, the Brooklyn Bridge, with a center span fiIy percent longer than the second- longest at the time of its construction, was built because ferries were the only transportation between New York and Brooklyn, then the first and third largest cities in the country. There is a close correlation, decade by decade and beginning in the 1880s, between what was feasible in terms of structural engineering and what has been built to enable the city to grow and prosper. This paper will examine that correlation and engineers’ role in the city’s evolution.</p>
