Trajan’s Aqueduct – video from the Rogue Classicist
by meggie on Feb.02, 2010, under Academics and News, Archaeology
I highly recommend that everyone who reads this follow to rogueclassicism.com to see the video posted regarding the discovery of the source of Trajan’s Aqueduct, built in the second century AD to bring clean water to the city of Rome from the Etruscan hillside. These images, which sources have confirmed are the remains of the source of the aqueduct – a ceremony was held in Rome on the 28th of January – and the Aqueduct Hunters themselves make for some wonderful dialogue. However, it is when you start hearing them wading through water that excitement really builds!
Enjoy! And thanks to the Rogue Classicist for posting such a wonderful video!
