"How did Roman waterworks work? How were the aqueducts planned and built? What happened to the water before it got into the aqueduct conduit and after it left it, in catchment, urban distribution and drainage? What were the hydraulics and engineering involved? And what was hydraulic technology like throughout the provinces, far from the often-studied system of metropolitan Rome? In a comprehensive study that ranges through the Roman aqueducts of France, Germany, Spain, North Africa, Turkey and Israel, Professor Hodge introduces us to these often neglected aspects of what the Romans themselves would certainly boast of as one of the greatest glories of their civilisation. Although often technically oriented, the book is aimed at non-engineers (there is a chapter on basic hydraulics, and an appendix on the use of formulae), and historians of society and the economy are not overlooked. Above all, the book looks on aqueducts as functioning machines rather than as static archaeological monuments." -- Provided by publisher

Excerpt from The Aqueducts of Ancient Rome The next scholar to devote attention to the aqueducts, though publishing even less than Fabretti, was Diego Revillas,3 a Spaniard, Abbot of the Order of S. Jerome, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Rome from 1725 onwards, and a Fellow of the Royal Society4 of London. Some of his papers are in the Vatican Library.5 Others were obtained by Costantino Corvisieri from the Keeper of archives at S. Alessio, where Revillas lived in Rome. Corvisieri sold part of these to the Berlin library in 1 8 7 3, keeping the rest himself; and this latter part was bought by the author at the sale of his library, and 13 now in the library of the British School at Rome. The matter contained 1n both portions is often identical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
