Acqua Vergine: The Remedy to Rome's Water Troubles

Acqua Vergine: The Remedy to Rome's Water Troubles Aqua Anio Vetus, the first raised aqueduct built in Rome, commenced providing the men and women living in the hills with water in 273 BC, though they had depended on natural springs up until then.

From the beginning of the sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill via the underground channel of Acqua Vergine. All through the length of the aqueduct’s network were pozzi, or manholes, that gave access. The manholes made it easier to thoroughly clean the channel, but it was also possible to use buckets to extract water from the aqueduct, as we saw with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he owned the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he passed away.

The Main Characteristics of Ancient Greek Statues

The Main Characteristics of Ancient Greek Statues The initial freestanding statuary was improved by the Archaic Greeks, a recognized success since until then the only carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and pillars. Kouros figures, statues of adolescent, handsome male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the greater part of the statues. Regarded as by Greeks to represent skin care, the kouroi were structured into stiff, forward facing poses with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were usually nude, brawny, and fit. The kouroi started to be life-sized starting in 650 BC.
