Topic: Anio


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  Subiaco - LoveToKnow 1911
Sublaqueum was so called from its position under the three artificial lakes constructed in the gorge of the Anio in connexion with the aqueduct of the Anio Novus, which had its intake at the lower end of the lowest of them (the Simbruina stagna of Tacitus).
On the banks of this lake Nero constructed a villa, in the remains of which was found the beautiful headless statue of a youth kneeling, now in the Museo delle Terme at Rome.
The lakes gradually ceased to exist owing to the action of the Anio, the last dam being washed away in 1305.

 Sextus Iulius Frontinus
The Anio River, although flowing from a lake whose waters are very pure, by the very swiftness of its current carries off dirt from crumbling banks, and by this it is polluted before its water enters the aqueduct channels.
And so Anio Vetus, for a number of reasons (one being the further downstream a water is received the less wholesome it is), would be delivered for irrigation of large estates and for meaner functions of the City itself.
The finest example of the procedure Frontinus describes is a bridge of Anio Vetus crossing the valley of the Mola di San Gregorio.

 The Water Supply of the City of Rome | Frontinus
The conduit of New Anio measures 58,700 paces; of which 49,300 are underground, 9,400 above-ground; of which at various points in the upper reaches are 2,300 paces on masonry substructure or on arches; and nearer the city, beginning at the seventh mile-stone, 609 paces on masonry substructure, 6,491 paces on arches.
New Anio goes the highest; next to it comes Claudia; the third rank is taken by Julia, the fourth by Tepula; this is followed by Marcia, which equals in height at the intake even Claudia.
ANIO NOVUS, 4, 13, 15, 18, 20, 21, 68, 86, 91, 93, 104, 105.

The aqueduct "Anio Vetus" was built by Manlius Curius Dentatus and Fulvio Flacco from 272 – 269 BC.
The aqueduct took its water from the Anio between the towns of Vicovaro and Mandela.
The river was called „Anio Novus" to distinguish from the "Anio Vetus" from 272 to 269 BC.

The Aqua Anio Novus was also started by Caligula and completed by Claudius.
The source of the aqueduct was originally troublesome, so the source was moved upstream to the lake.
The Anio Novus processed the most water of any aqueduct which was 190,000 m3 per day.

The intake of New Anio is at the forty-second milestone on the Sublacensian Way, in the district of Simbruvium.
The highest is New Anio; next comes Claudia; the third place is taken by Julia; the fourth by Tepula; the last by Marcia, although at its intake this mounts even to the level of Claudia.
The sixth rank in height is held by Old Anio, which would likewise be capable of supplying even the higher portions of the City, if it were raised up on substructures or arches, wherever the nature of the valleys and low places demands.

Next, the Anio Vetus was built in 272 BC while Spurrius Carvilius and Luius Papirius Cursor were consuls.
It was not until 140 BC that water from the Upper Anio Valley actually flowed into the city through the aqueduct.
Thus, it came to pass that in 47 AD, the Aqua Claudia and Anio Novus aqueducts brought water into Rome and brought the number of aqueducts serving the city to nine (De Aquis, I, 14).

 AQUEDUCTS OF ROME UNDER AUGUSTUS - Part 1
The lack of any traces of a bridge or by-pass and the great depth of the shaft strongly point to the Anio Vetus passing beneath the stream in an inverted siphon and I illustrate this in the next two illustrations.
One other notable example of the Anio Vetus is to be found just outside the Porta Maggiore on the eastern side of the Via Labicana.
Similar work is to be found on the Anio Vetus inside the city in underground channels neat the intersection of the Via Principale Umberto and the Piazza Fanti as well as a reservoir.

Funded by the spoils of the Pyrrhic war, the Anio Vetus was constructed between 272 and 269 B.C..
Drawing its waters from the river Tivoli in the Anio valley, most Archaeologists believe its source to be between Vicaro and Mandela.
The Vetus' general path to Rome became the template for future aqueducts, except for its supplementary channel that took "Short-cuts" to avoid the cumbersome paths along the sides of valleys.

Of a still greater length was the Anio Novus, which began at the forty-second milestone, on the Via Sublacensis, and received in addition, at the thirty-eighth milestone, opposite the sources of the Aqua Claudia, a stream called the Rivus Herculaneus.
In the neighbourhood of the city these two aqueducts were united, the Claudia below and the Anio Novus above.
An interesting monument connected with these aqueducts, is the gate now called Porta Maggiore, which was originally a magnificent double arch, by means of which the aqueduct was carried over the Via Labicana and the Via Praenestina.

These arches ended behind the Horti Pallantiana, the former Vigna Belardi, where the terminal piscina of these two aqueducts was situated.
Like the Claudia, the Anio Novus supplied the highest parts of the city.
Before the reforms introduced by Frontinus, it was freely used to supply the deficiencies (largely due to dishonesty) of other aqueducts, and, being turbid, rendered them impure.

The Anio River (formerly called the Teverone) flows down from the mountains at Trevi in Lazio and goes westward past Subiaco, Vicovaro, and Tivoli into the Tiber River.
In antiquity, most of the Roman aqueducts had their sources either from the Anio or from streams flowing into it.
Today, the economy of the valley is based on tourism.
