Arcades
• To get the aqueduct on a higher position than 2

a long detour, especially to cross a valley or a
river
Tunnels
• helped prevent detours a tunnel could be
necessary
Manholes
• Their main purpose was for cleaning and
repairs
Manhole with a broad
base and settling basin
Manhole on an arcaded
aqueduct
Manhole on a siphon basin
Sources of water
• Springs were the most common source for roman aqueducts.
River intakes were used occasionally. Artificially created lakes
as a source were rare.
Infiltration Galleries
20 - 100 m long which ran along a hill side to intercept the flow
of water that trickled out of the splits in the wall into the gallery.
At one side the water was collected into a settling basin to get
rid of the debris and sediments

All Roads Lead To Rome
• Image it is 100 C.E. and you are a Roman official in London. A messenger
appears at your door with a letter from your commander stating that you
must return to Rome.
• How long would such a trip take? Before the Roman roads, a trip from
London to Rome by carriage and boat would have taken weeks, or even
months. Chart your course along the roads and write down how long you
think your journey will take. Please use the scale in miles.
• Expect that your horse-drawn carriage will travel about 10 miles per hour.
• Remember that you will have to cross the English Channel to reach the
European mainland. Allow seven hours for a galley to carry you across
since the sea conditions are very unpredictable.
