Rome’s First Water Transport Solutions

Rome’s First Water Transport Solutions Prior to 273, when the very first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was established in Roma, inhabitants who dwelled on hills had to go even further down to gather their water from natural sources. If inhabitants living at higher elevations did not have access to springs or the aqueduct, they’d have to depend on the remaining existing systems of the day, cisterns that gathered rainwater from the sky and subterranean wells that received the water from below ground. From the beginning of the sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill by using the subterranean channel of Acqua Vergine. Through its initial construction, pozzi (or manholes) were situated at set intervals alongside the aqueduct’s channel. Though they were initially planned to make it possible to service the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi started using the manholes to get water from the channel, commencing when he acquired the property in 1543. He didn’t get enough water from the cistern that he had built on his residential property to collect rainwater. To provide himself with a much more useful system to assemble water, he had one of the manholes opened, providing him access to the aqueduct below his residence.
