Aqua Appia information


Route of the Aqua Appia
Map of Aqua Appia in Rome

The Aqua Appia was the first Roman aqueduct, constructed in 312 BC by the co-censors Gaius Plautius Venox and Appius Claudius Caecus, the same Roman censor who also built the important Via Appia.[1]

Gaius Plautius Venox chose the source of the aqueduct thus giving him the nickname Venox (Hunter). However, Appius Claudius had the aqueduct named after him as at the time that the aqueduct was being built the 18 month terms of Plautius and Appius as censors was coming to an end and Plautius resigned in a timely manner. However, Appius kept his position by "various subterfuges" in order to extend his term to finish the Via Appia and the Aqua Appia.[2]

The Appia fed the city of Rome with an estimated 73000 m3 of water per day.
