Among other questions, the volume considers how water traveled to the many neighborhoods of hilly Rome, which neighborhoods were connected to the water system, and how those connections were made. A consideration of Frontinus' writing reveals comprehensive planning by city officials over long periods of time and the difficulties these engineering feats posed. \u003ci\u003eWater Distribution in Ancient Rome\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students and scholars of Frontinus, of Roman engineering and imperial policy, and of Roman topography and archaeology. \u003cbr\u003e\"Clear style, good maps and photographs, notes, and bibliography make this work accessible and valuable for students at every level. An admirable contribution to knowledge of the Roman Empire.\" --\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarry B. Evans is Professor of Classics, Fordham University.
