COLLABORATORS AND CONTRIBUTORS
Aquae Urbis Romae was conceived and developed
in its entirety by the author with technical
assistance as noted in the acknowledgments. Except
where individually noted all maps, texts, drawings
photographs are the work of the author, who
is completely responsible for any errors, omissions
mistakes. Every effort has been made to provide
accurate information, but a project of this scope
will necessarily have some unintentional mistakes
and oversights. Any questions, comments, criticism
suggestions are welcome and should be directed

If you are interested in contributing an article
on the water history of Rome to the Aquae Urbis Romae
electronic journal, or in bringing new material
to the attention of the author, please do so by email to the author.
MODIFICATIONS TO AQUAE URBIS ROMAE
Although far from completion, Aquae Urbis Romae was released on the World Wide Web in January
1999. Not unlike a major building project, the
infrastructure has been completed first. The foundations
have been laid, and the structural framework erected
on which the entire project rests, but the individual
elements will be added over time. Aquae Urbis
Romae will be actively under construction for many years
to come and will be continuously supplemented with
new maps, texts, drawings and archival material.
