Guide to the Aqueducts of Ancient Rome

Aicher (classics, U. of Southern Maine) offers a guide for the traveler, historian, and perhaps geographer rather than the archaeologist, to the 500 kilometers of ancient Rome's water system. He describes the operation of the system and provides maps, drawings, photographs, and descriptions of all the major ruins from the alleys and avenues of the city itself to the remote valleys. Illustrated in black and white. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
