		Frontinus does not mention the volumes of water delivered, due likely to a lack of standardized or accurate means of measuring time and volume.
		The contribution of Frontinus, then, is mainly anthropological or cultural: through him we glimpse a profoundly different concept of commodity management and the bureaucracy that governed it.
		Evans concludes that Frontinus is more useful as a study of a bureaucratic official justifying his appointment, and as a way to reconstruct Agrippa's Commentarii which likely served as its model.

		He himself observes that, "although most of Rome's aqueducts can be traced to terminal reservoirs within the city, there is almost a total lack of archaeological evidence as to what happened to their water after that point" (3).

		The water supply for Rome alone was comprised of ten great a aqueducts, some coming from lakes as far as sixty miles from the city.
