I am named Frontinus after Sextus Julius Frontinus, the author
of De Aquis urbis Romae, a text on the water and aqueducts of Rome.
Sextus was Praetor of the city in A. D. 70 and consul in 73, 98 and 100.
In 76 he came to Britain as Governor until replaced by Agricola in 78.
In 97 he was given the office of Manager of Aqueducts at Rome during
which time (in A.D. 97-98) De Aquis was written. In this he gives some
historical details and a description of the aqueducts for the water-supply
of the city, with laws relating to them.
To see De Aquis visit Bill Thayer’s website by clicking here.
Associated information about Rome’s aqueducts can be found in an
article by Philip Smith at the University of London by clicking here. There
is also a project about the Waters of Rome being developed by Katherine
Wentworth Rinne here
