		Frontinus reckons as follows: The capacity of the official 100-pipe (81 65/144) approximates that of five official 20-pipes (16 7/24 x 5 = 81 11/24).

	Frontinus
		Frontinus was a Roman general, politician, and writer, and was one of the most distinguished men of his time, according to Pliny the younger.
		In 97, Nerva appointed him superintendent of the aqueducts of Rome, and as a direct result of this Frontinus decided to write a book on the history, administration and maintenance of the system.
		This was probably based on notes gathered as he learned on the job – which was the regular Roman method of educating their magistrates at this time, but few chose to put their findings in writing.

		The city of Rome depended on a complex system of aqueducts for survival, and Frontinus purports to tell his readers how best to manage this system.
		Although his text is largely technical, his treatment of technicalities is not always clear, raising the question of how well he, and the Romans, really understood hydraulics.
		This interdisciplinary study of Frontinus' work addresses the questions that lie between the lines of his text.

		Later, men like Julius Caesar and Octavian had similar careers.
