Photographer's Note

After to have exposed two parks to the inside of Rome we begin the distance with the third party "the PARK Of the AQUEDUCTS" situated to Rome between the way Tuscolana and the way Appia.

Denomination The Aqueduct Claudius was begun from Caligola and finished from the emperor Claudius, from which taken the name. Saying magnificentissimus from Frontino came. Historical period the Aqueduct Claudius was begun in the 38 a.C. and finished in the 52 a.C. from the Emperor Claudius, but it seems that already it was active in the 47. E' between the aqueducts more important than Rome. The main sources indicated from the names "Cerulea" for the blue transparency and "Curzia" supplied a water much valuable one. They found themselves in the high one go them of the Aniene. Covered the distance of the Aqueduct Claudius it was along 45 miles; the every day capacity was of 4607 quinarie (equal to mc. 191.190) but only part of the water reached the limaria swimming pool and the "castle", where the water was stirred to that one of the Anio Novus. The Aqueduct Claudius began following on the right goes it them of the Aniene, to the Sluice of Saint Cosimato it continued on the right and it was placed side by side to other aqueducts that passed from those leave: After to have gone around with a wide curve the Sant' Mount Angel in Arcese and touched Tivoli, the aqueduct headed to south towards the Way Prenestina and crossed goes them to them between Saint Gregorio and Gallicano. Then he folded to the west towards the Latin Way and the Albani hill. To the WAYS mile of the Latin Way, in odierna the locality of the Capannelle, the aqueduct exited to the open and passed in the great limaria swimming pool. Transformations During the imperial age the aqueduct Claudius was interested from participations of restoration and consolidation, from the time of Vespasiano that in the 71 d.C. restored it after that it was remained interrupted for some years. Since not are written documents, other participations acknowledge for the various techniques building overlapped to the original structure in square work of tufo and travertino. The consolidation of arches came realized with adding of inner rings or "sottarchi", in lateritious work; the consolidation of the pillars was realized to the time of the Strict ones and in that one of Diocleziano or Massenzio edited by Carolina and Sara
