Praetor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The first praetor specially so called was appointed in the year 356 BC, and he was chosen only from the Patricians, who had this new office created as a kind of indemnification to themselves for being compelled to share the consulship with the Plebeians.
In the year 246 BC another Praetor was appointed, whose business was to administer justice in matters in dispute between, or peregrini and Roman citizens; and accordingly he was called Praetor Peregrinus.
Sometimes, extraordinary duties were imposed on them, as in the case of the Praetor Peregrinus (144BC) who was commissioned by a Senatus consultum to look after the repair of certain aqueducts and to prevent the improper use of the water.

In the front view the drapery clings damply to the flesh and has the effect of nudity; over the figure's right thigh a series of curving ridges ("modelling lines") stress the roundness of the limb so that it looks still rounder than the naked left thigh.
The original, made about 440 BC, was of bronze and the most famous work of Polykleitos.
The composition is still four-square, designed principally for front and side views, but the proportions and the pose have been planned thoughtfully, so that none of the major axes of the figure are strictly vertical or horizontal.

Single (or "flash") lock-gates were in use by the 1st centuryBC (Chien-Lu Dam and canals near Nanyang) but may have been used earlier (in the valley of the Euphrates, or the port of Sidon) for irrigation and sluicing purposes.
An important non-canal site in the evolution of the single-gate lock is the port of Sidon (2nd centuryBC or earlier); there are still extant Phoenician harbour works there, where rock-cut grooves (one still remaining) indicate the former existence of four sluice-gates, probably for flushing the harbour.
The Aqua Marcia (144BC) actually forms part of a three-deck aqueduct at the Porta San Lorenzo gate into Rome; the arches of the gate also carry the Aqua Tepula (127 BC) and the Aqua Julia (33 BC) aqueducts.
