This work delves into the history, structure, and significance of the aqueducts that served ancient Rome, illuminating how crucial these engineering marvels were to the city's access to water. Parker illustrates the aqueducts' architectural intricacies and their essential role in sustaining the massive population of the Roman Empire. At the start of "The Archæology of Rome, Part 8: The Aqueducts," Parker emphasizes the necessity of understanding the aqueducts to comprehend Rome's archaeology fully. He sets the stage by discussing the prominent structures that brought water to various public baths and palaces, detailing their grand designs and historical contexts. The initial chapters also reference the ancient writings of Frontinus, who documented the aqueducts, while Parker lays out his findings and plans to illustrate their remains and importance, guiding readers through the complex history of these vital waterways. The opening serves not only as a historical account but also hints at the extensive research and examination he undertook over the years to map these aqueducts accurately.
