Rome’s Early Water Delivery Systems
Rome’s Early Water Delivery Systems Rome’s first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in 273 BC; before that, inhabitants living at higher elevations had to depend on local streams for their water. When aqueducts or springs weren’t easily accessible, people dwelling at higher elevations turned to water pulled from underground or rainwater, which was made available by wells and cisterns.
From the early sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill via the underground channel of Acqua Vergine. As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals. The manholes made it less demanding to maintain the channel, but it was also possible to use buckets to pull water from the aqueduct, as we viewed with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he bought the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he died. He didn’t get adequate water from the cistern that he had established on his residential property to gather rainwater. Fortunately, the aqueduct sat directly below his property, and he had a shaft established to give him access.
