Resum

In 97 CE Julius Frontinus was appointed by the Emperor Nerva to the post of water commissioner for the city of Rome. In this work (On the Water-Rights of the City of Rome) he sets forth his duties, responsibilities and accomplishments during his first year in office. He sketches the history of the aqueducts, furnishes a wealth of technical data, and quotes verbatim from legal documents. This is the most authoritative edition to be published to date and contains the first full commentary since the early eighteenth century.
