    ROME'S ANCIENT AQUEDUCT FOUND


    The long-sought aqueduct that delivered fresh, clean water to Rome nearly 2,000 years ago, is
    found beneath a pig pasture northwest of the Italian city.

    A pair of British filmmakers recently found remains of an aqueduct that delivered fresh water to
    Rome some 1,900 years ago. The duo found the aqueduct through a concealed door in a ruined
    chapel in the Italian village of Manziana. Beyond the subterranean chamber, a 410-foot-long
    gallery led to the beginning of the aqueduct and a large chamber that had been dedicated to
    spring nymph gods. This three-chambered semicircular nymphaeum was converted into a Paleo
    Christian chapel after 392 A.D.

    • An ancient aqueduct that once delivered fresh water to Rome is found.


    • The 1,900-year-old tunnel was built by Emperor Trajan in 109 A.D.
    • The entry to the aqueduct was found through a secret door in a ruined chapel.
