Description

Explore the history of Roman water management with this scholarly edition of Frontinus: De Aquaeductu Urbis Romae. Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries series, this volume offers a deep look into the administrative work of Julius Frontinus. Appointed by Emperor Nerva in 97 CE, Frontinus served as the water commissioner for Rome, and this text documents his duties, responsibilities, and accomplishments during his first year in office. This specific edition represents a significant advancement in classical studies. It is the first version since 1922 to be based on the single authoritative witness discovered at Monte Cassino in 1429. Furthermore, the text accounts for the specific handwriting and stylistic choices of the twelfth-century scribe, Peter the Deacon. Readers will find a detailed sketch of aqueduct history, extensive technical data, and verbatim quotes from legal documents, making it an essential resource for students and historians of Ancient Rome.
