Rome’s First Water Transport Systems
Rome’s First Water Transport Systems With the development of the 1st raised aqueduct in Rome, the Aqua Anio Vetus in 273 BC, folks who lived on the city’s hillsides no longer had to depend only on naturally-occurring spring water for their demands.
Throughout this period, there were only two other techniques capable of providing water to elevated areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which amassed rainwater. In the early sixteenth century, the city began to make use of the water that flowed below the ground through Acqua Vergine to furnish drinking water to Pincian Hill. As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals. The manholes made it more straightforward to maintain the channel, but it was also possible to use buckets to remove water from the aqueduct, as we viewed with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he bought the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he passed away. Whilst the cardinal also had a cistern to get rainwater, it couldn't supply a sufficient amount of water. Thankfully, the aqueduct sat directly below his residence, and he had a shaft opened to give him access.
