[…] The first aquaeduct was begun by App. Claudius the censor, and was named after him, the Aqua Appia. Subsequently seven or eight aquaeducts were built, which brought an abundant supply of water to Rome.”

“In Ephesus, an immense temple to the “Olympian Hadrian” and a new aquaeduct are witnesses of his imperial largess; […] Arches were also the basis for viaducts and aquaeducts which can still be found today in all areas to which Roman rule extended.”
