The present volume is the fifth publication of a Frontinus-conference edited by Gilbert Wiplinger as a BABESCH supplement volume on historical water science. Held in Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, and the place of activity of Sextus Iulius Frontinus as curator aquarum, it was probably one of the most important and challenging events of this congress series. For the first time a new path was taken, as the organizer and publisher wanted to approach the topic of water from the artistic side. This was realized in the opening lecture with the presentation of a literary novel in which Frontinus plays the main character and a photo exhibition held at the Austrian Historical Insitute about the integration of the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus in the newly constructed building of the waterworks of Limburg (Netherlands). -- from the back cover.
