Regina Aquarum - Ancient Rome and the governance of water

€18.00 (In Stock)

Description: Water is notoriously an essential element for the development and maintenance of human and animal life. Since the birth of the first human settlements, the need to control the sources and supplies of this precious liquid became evident. Unsurprisingly, the great ancient cities emerged by rivers or near springs, basins, and similar water sources. Since ancient times, the control over water sources and the management of water infrastructure quickly became a prerogative  of power-of every power. Rome was no exception. On the contrary, the Romans excelled, designing and constructing monumental aqueducts.
