- List of aqueducts in the city of Rome
This page is a list of ancient Roman aqueducts in the city of Rome.
Introduction
In order to meet the massive water needs of its huge population, the city of Rome itself was supplied with 11 aqueducts. Their combined capacity was capable of supplying at least 1,127,220 cubic meters (nearly 300 million gallons) of water to the city each day. Detailed statistics for the city's aqueducts were logged around 97 by Sextus Julius Frontinus, the "curator aquarum" (superintendent of the aqueducts) for Rome during the reign of Nerva. Less information is known about aqueducts built after Frontinus.
